Against the conspiracy

[matrixmann]

"A reason why a state must remain neutral and clean of religion and mercantilism?
To serve all people equally and to maintain a public education system that teaches children by science that antibiotics won't make their head fall off, a car is no living monster to sit in, carnivores can't subsist on grass, potatoes not gonna eat you and that water doesn't poison plants in general."

And another thing why we need science is to make things available in abundance. With reasonable approach, of course. So we can provide lots of people with all necessary stuff. Because some people suggest taking a shovel and plant something like in good old times or handmade something. This is great but it won't allow everyone have everything due to low productivity.

Right! This might occupy a nostalgic and glorified stance these days - doing crafts and creating things by your own two hands.
In smaller circles with limited extent this may work, but on a larger scale with things being needed on a larger scale this fails 'cause people generating those wares wouldn't ever live up to the amounts that were needed.
Including, this would need everyone to at least be master in one craftwork 'cause one person doesn't have knowledge and skills in all disciplines you need to survive and make your life comfortable.
(But which would lead again to a community structure which a psychologist had to call "symbiotic". "Symbiotic" because all depend on each other in such a way, no-one can leave the community without leaving all others back exposed to potential danger of going down through the loss 'cause all is geared to the one single constallation that had been there previously. This also includes "nobody can grow old" 'cause age can attack your phyiscal powers to practice your craftwork and possibly also your mental powers for it.)

And even worse if someone gets disable. They would not only lose one chain in their group but somebody needs to take care of them. I would imagine this is where the ideology of killing all week and sick individuals roots from. Because they become the burden.

Caught up in such dependencies, it makes a logical sense. Kill the one who can't contribute and who only eats FROM at the table... Also applies to children if they aren't already big enough and food is scarce.
Can tell me what you want, society like that is something from very very long past times. One should actually know better than that.
But I can guess, in some kind of dreamy fairytale worlds this can subsist as an idea until today.
I already got my own experiences about this kind of symbiosis - and that's how I come to like impersonality and the non-binding.
Binding things such as symbiosis always require and demand from you that you have to function in every moment potentially and there's ever no saying "no". "No" is like the world going down. Emotionally it's terrible if you don't idealize the community... Piles and piles of screaming, guilt and accusations raining down on you... That's no environment to live in.
