15. Human beings have been in a "state of idiocy", you might say, since time immemorial

The "desert god of death" as you refer to him was not even known for millenniums in most of the world -

- Think China, Africa, Greece or Imperial Rome and The Americas -- and yet what we know of their societies shows an

almost exclusive pattern of male dominated religions and societies.

I don't know of any empirical evidence of "women ruling the world" for any substantial

amount of time, if ever.
