I think a lot about this bit from “Jerusalem” by Alan Moore
Civilisation is your earliest science-fiction story. You come up with it so that you'll have something to do, something to occupy yourselves during the centuries to come. Don't you remember? For all that it manifests materially in castles, hospitals, sofas and atom bombs, the world is founded in the immaterial reaches of the human mind, is standing on a flimsy paradigm that has no actual substance. And if that foundation does not hold, if it is based perhaps upon a flawed perception of the universe that does not match with later observations, then the whole confection falls into an abyss of unbeing. Both in terms of its construction and its ideology, the world is far from sound. To be quite honest it's a creaking death-trap, and there are all of these health and safety regulations. I don't make the rules. I am a builder. You'll appreciate that this entails a lot of demolition work. Your world, the way you think about yourselves and your most fundamental notions of reality are the result of unskilled labour, cowboy workmanship. There's bad subsidence; dry rot in the moral timbers. This will all have to come down, and it's not going to be cheap.
