Social mores, customs, and traditions are artificially constructed, not divinely or biologically established.
Human culture ends up supplanting our natural instincts to such an extent that we mistake it for our physical nature.
The masses are led to believe that the social world is an absolute given when, in reality, it was manufactured.
When society and culture become objectified and deified, we become biproducts of our own creation.
Humans experience alienation when they forget that they created society and feel powerless to change it.
Look, I said I want the toilet seat down and it's staying down!
