Well, the rules of conduct are what bind us in the cave. We think, at least within our little conference room, that what is good is achieving in high school, moving on to college, and then getting a well-paying job that allows us to support a family. This version of the American dream has crippled generations of young people in our country for the past 60 years. Imagine how many women could have become scientists if they hadn't been at home working on the roast. Our rules and expectations are our bondage, which we mistakenly believe keeps us safe from something evil outside the cave. There is no evil outside the cave. The cave is evil and keeps us from becoming who we truly are, a race of resourceful and ingenious people, who have been conditioned to mediocrity. At birth we are not given the choice to exit our bondage. Our culture has taken over nature, which was previously the dominant force. The weak are no longer trampled upon and the strong remain there to evolve, but everyone lives together in a strange society, oriented towards security and not human interest.
