• Explains much about the overall trajectory of human history; and, in particular,
• Provides a basic insight into why our history has been as tormented and destructive as it has been;
• Presents a useful and highly plausible way of comprehending the nature, source, and modus operandi of what has traditionally been called “evil”;
• Shows persuasively that human history should not be seen as human nature writ large, that the ugliness we see in history is not evidence of an ugliness inherent in humanity; and thus shows that we are likely far better creatures than most of us believe,
• Enables us to envision much brighter possibilities for the human future than are current in most contemporary thinking;
• (And most immediately, explains how a destructive force has gained great power in recent times in the American political system, leading to the election of a man whose rise to the presidency would previously have been unthinkable);
