Failure. In trying to create a world that valued living beings not for their usefulness as tools but as intrinsically significant things, failure befell the virtuous. Humans are now bred and engineered into human-animal hybrids from birth obeying the volition of the elite. Propaganda filled to the brim with techno-fetishistic delusions and unending lies is now accepted as the immutable truth. The opposing branch of humanity that split itself apart from the fleshy hellscape of planet Tarrasque is no less corrupt and horrible than its organic counterpart.
