Be All, End All

Nobody asked but …

There is no entity that can do it all, answer all questions.  There is no entity that can do defense, imperialism, law enforcement, infrastructure, pharmaceutical, diplomacy, security, education, politics, travel, migration, housing, care for the aged, care for the disabled, economics, finance, agriculture, stewardship, and so forth, and so on.

To the extent that modern society attempts this futility marks our failure in the evolution of our species.  These precepts may have been useful for 18th century monarchies and their colonists, but not rising above them will make us unfit for survival.
