You are wrong. This force is very real, and I have seen it in action. It takes the weaknesses you blame, and it refocuses them in unison to serve its purposes. Rationality and logic would have stopped what happened to me if it were not for this force. It preys on our emotions, all of them.. greed, love, arrogance, altruism.. none are sacred.

Today it controls a large faction of humanity, people in all walks of life, and they are conscious of it. The direction it has been pushing us in is negative for the group as a whole, and yet they persist.

The external force is real, and it is not helping us.
