How, other than by outright mind control, would you expect to call a “mythos” into being?
You can’t make other people like what you like. You can’t remake the pattern of everybody else’s life for your personal comfort, or for the comfort of whatever minority happens to think “enough like you do”. If you try, you will engender violent resistance more or less in direct proportion to your actual chance of succeeding.
There’s not going to be just one “other side”, either. You can’t negotiate with anybody and come up with a compromise proposal. There 7.6 billion views of what utopia is, and the number is rising.
So how about if we stick with a cultural norm against trying to force them all into a mold? Total warfare isn’t very longevity-promoting.
