Well, yeah. That's the thing. Humanity is far from being perfect at this time. Although they're of higher intelligence than what would be considered a genius today, and they've got godly technology at their fingertips, they're still subject to the human condition. They always strive for more than they already have (perfection as opposed to what's good enough). Doru is a flawed philosophy, yeah, but people find a way to make it work for them and still be able to live with themselves. They don't quite run on the persuit of perfection anymore than American society runs on the persuit of getting into heaven. It's just a common belief they all hold, and everybody interprets "perfect" in a different way, hence different factions and beliefs.

In a weird way, yeah. MAGNUMOPUS is potentially essential for humanity. With that being said, its whole idea of erasing free will and combining all humans into one being isn't great
