Human beings have reproduced for 25,000 years now, and only the last 4,000 years are meaningful.
So, what have we been doing for nearly 25,000 years? We hide in caves, sit around small campfires, and fear the things we don't understand—those explanations of how the sun rises, those monsters with human heads and bird bodies, those living stones. So we call them "gods" and "demons" and ask them for forgiveness and pray for salvation.
After that, their numbers decreased and ours increased. When we fear fewer and fewer things, we begin to look at the world more rationally. However, the unexplainable does not disappear, as if the universe is deliberately designed to appear absurd and incredible.
Humanity can no longer live in fear. Nothing can protect us, we must protect ourselves. While others live in the sun, we must fight them in the shadows and prevent them from being exposed to the public eye, so that others can live in a sane, ordinary world.
We control, we contain, we protect.
