Relevance hunter

Hominids began as hunter-gatherer groups. The modern hominids lack the need for utilising this skill for obtaining food and hence use it for gathering purpose. An easy mode to get this done is by aligning themselves with a meme that has stood the test of time. Religion is an ancient meme that has continuously been used to this purpose.

In order to find a relevance for their existence, this handbook for existence is held close to their chest and anyone who questions this purpose is shot down, sometimes in the literal sense. Existence is a fickle concept and try as they may to assign a rock-solid foundation to it everything just falls apart at the seam. Religious canon is just an edition of 'Existence for Dummies'. Everything is spoon-fed and there is little room for exploration.

Age of Competition

This has been a common goal-setter in both school and college, tutors yelling every 1 hour that it's a mighty competitive world out there. 5 other Indians stand to gain where you fall. Now that thought's gotta keep me on my feet. Ya rt!

So the hindrance for modern-day existence is over-zealous fellow human brothers/sisters. The human brain is indeed a tool adept at solving such problems. I can go the hard-working/slave route and fight it out with these other 5 Indians or just come up with a non-detectable bioweapon to wipe out about a 500 of these 'competitors' in one go.
