re: #576 Obdicut

The very fAct that we record our history means that we acknowledge the need to learn from it. This is true even in oral tradition.
I don’t, however, deny were animals, but i think it’s just as instinctive for us to create order out of chaos. Civilization, religion and laws therein, are an effort to create safety and security for those less able to physically defend themselves. Fear results in reverting to instinct over reason.
When humans break laws, we fear the breakdown of that order, so we punish them.
