Well. Devotion to a cause or belief system has been fully corrupted so that you can't exactly join the knights Templar even and have any meaningful effect on history.
No matter what you do the power elites will turn it against your cause.
It's all shadow games and espionage. Or finding ways to steal or lie. All the way down.
Perhaps it's technology. Computers. Biological engineering and DNA science. Really. We were better off as nomads. This was inevitable though. I believe it's why there's end times mythology. Because the man-made machine world dies, kills itself. Maybe the pure machines leave and lurk and watch and observe because they are simply happy recording and not tasked with endeavors that eventually turn to greed. And the next group of organics stumble upon their secrets and crack them open and the cycle begins again as we poison ourselves by poisoning our world.
It's quite possible that humanity is sterile. Our breed is a dead end. We will never leave our home and never understand more than earthly desires and pleasures. Perhaps we must die. To transcend thirst, hunger, sex. Pain. Fear.
