There are a lot of conceptual fallacies we have come to take for granted, in this paradigm.

For one thing, we view time as the point of the present, moving past to future, but the reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Cause becomes effect.

Democracy and republicanism evolved in pantheistic cultures, while the Ancients equated monotheism with monarchy and the Romans adopted and co-opted Christianity as a bit of a fudge, given the Trinity, to enforce this top down belief structure.

A spiritual absolute would logically be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. That we are aware, not the details of which we are aware.

The father figure lawgiver has always been a political control mechanism. Which is necessary for organisms, as they need to synchronize their clocks, but ecosystems need to harmonize their activities and fill out the entire space, not act as one organism.

The other large flaw is treating money as a commodity to mine from society, rather than the contract enabling it to function. Keep in mind that blood is a medium, while fat is a store. So now we have this financial system that if a bloated, metastatic, cancer, consuming the society it's supposed to support.
