"Society" isn't a monolith with a central brain in control. It's a collection of many and varied forces, many moving in the same general direction, many completely opposed. There are even forces that overlap others, or push one direction while pulling in another.

The end result is more like a glacial track, and not a luge course. Adapt, die, or create your own little niche in which you hole up with like-minded others until you fall out through attrition.
