This is why we have a master/slave dynamic where the many aren't responsible for governing their selves only and the few try to force people into compliance with their will without respecting the value they have without using force. The bad side is that this causes 1% of the world to have more willpower than 99% of the world because the natural differences in ability cause a dangerous power differential when people think its a good idea to participate in external authority systems of corporate government and ignore the fact that nature already has a system to harmonize with that is as valuable as any thought, feeling or expression we may come up with. The good side of this is that we are able to use our analytical imagination to get outside and see the big picture and develop our authority to command ourselves and move objects in the world around us to our will which is the responsibility of consciousness we are given to figure out what is going on and participate in this great work of life. This is the view of the philospher Decartes that the universe can be understood by breaking everything down into pieces and reverse engineering how it works and becoming the master of the universal physical machine instead of just a cog in the system. On the one hand we have a point of view that only values material things. We recognize that something we typically look at as worthless like dirt is just as important as the total of all that is.
