Because they are way better educated than us.
That or read Jordan B. Peterson's 12 rules for life on Totalitarianism :
>The ancient Egyptians had already figured this out thousands of years ago, although their knowledge remained embodied in dramatic form. They worshipped Osiris, mythological founder of the state and the god of tradition. Osiris, however, was vulnerable to overthrow and banishment to the underworld by Set, his evil, scheming brother. The Egyptians represented in story the fact that social organizations ossify with time, and tend towards willful blindness. Osiris would not see his brother's true character, even though he could have. Set waits and, at an opportune moment attacks. He hacks Osiris into pieces, and scatters the divine remains through the kingdom. He sends his brother's spirit to the underworld. He makes it very difficult for Osiris to pull himself back together.
>Fortunately, the great king did not have to deal with Set on his own. The Egyptians also worshipped Horus, the son of Osiris. Horus took the twin form of a falcon. the most visually acute of all creatures, and the still-famous hieroglyphic single Egyptian eye.
>Osiris is tradition, aged and willfully blind. Horus, his son could and would, by contrast see. Horus was the god of attention. That is not the same of rationnality. Because he paid attention, Horus could perceive and triumph against the evils of Set, his uncle, albeit at great cost.
