In order to create a stable long-term society one needs to understand how humans think about and react to different situations. To do this you must first understand how the human brain has evolved and works. This leads to an understanding of why we have emotions and how they affect human behavior. You can then create situations that people will respond to in a desired way. We can use what we have learned to make a society that is more harmonious and stable.

Many people believe that we will never know how the human brain works. They think that our consciousness is somewhat of a miracle, far to complex to understand. If they were only to toss aside this "human chauvinism" and look at the brain like any other animal nervous system they would know how it works. They would realize that the only miracle is how well it all works together.
