That's some good bit o' history. I was really referring to the level of existing order needed to create *more* levels of order.

E.g "create tech to fly to Mars" and stuff?

I don't think it's possible to argue with that.

Humans have no problems organising themselves to create technology. Never have. But can humans organise themselves to stop collectively dominating the individual when the individuals harms no one else and damages no property? History tells us the answer to this question is generally "no, humans will almost always collectively blame externals for any and every perceived problem".
