The state shapes society through the concepts of good and evil, deliberately obscuring the perceptions of truth and falsehood. This is evident across various social and political systems that rely on moral categories, which can overshadow more objective criteria for evaluation. When we discuss "good" and "bad", we often refer to subjective assessments that can vary depending on cultural context, historical period, and personal beliefs.

Instead, if we focus on the categories of true and false, we can strive for a more objective understanding of reality. This approach may enhance our ability to analyze facts and make decisions based on logic and evidence, rather than emotional biases.

In this way, we can cultivate critical thinking and the capacity to distinguish between facts and opinions, thereby avoiding manipulation and making decisions grounded in sound premises.

Consequently, the role of the state as a didactic entity that imposes its will on the consciousness of individuals may gradually diminish, transforming into a collaborative instrument for the coexistence of society.

We must never forget that all societal rules are the result of agreements between two parties who, upon entering into contact, seek to establish the most advantageous environment for their interactions. It is precisely this environment that the state should embody, and nothing more.
