Why do we humans even feel the need to build an Empire? To own more than we could ever use? To conquer other worlds? To be in charge of something other than ourselves? To get ever more likes and listens?

Our own conscious minds are a whole universe of experience and potential. Of freedom and exploration. Of creativity and imagination.

If we have that (and if we’re alive and conscious we always do) a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, family and friends … we are already kings and queens.

Surely enough?

It seems not.
