I think that the "Will-to-Power" referred to in this conversation between Harari and Bilyeu in combination with a dominant, premodern developmental (reality-interpretive) level is particularly dangerous, especially now that existentially-threatening technologies have been developed by individuals of a dominant modern (reality-interpretive) developmental level.  This is because in the pre-modern, mythic, ethnocentric level of development regarding how individuals interpret reality as per their identities, values, interpersonal affairs (and other important lines of development), the Will-to-Power is particularly justified with absolutist doctrinal ideas much more readily than at the modern-rational and subsequent levels and people seek absolutist doctrinal solutions based on ethnic belonging. It is not a world-centric stage of development in which all of humanity is "us". Only those that are like us culturally or ideologically and, often, racially... are "us....

Under this stance, we would consider "older" civilizations" as possessing an exterior or extrinsically-based science (similar to ours),  but they would be more capable than “younger” civilizations...if their scientific progress continuously developed as it has for us for about 500 years.     This expectation might be correct from a causally forward, deterministic, material perspective appropriate for how we normally experience "reality"... in terms of our classical experience. Here, the science of (aware of their awareness) intelligent entities experientially embedded in a materi...
