Speaking scifi, the movie “Forbidden Planet” is the most fitting here, in which an advanced civilization freed themselves from the need to use their bodies, and instead they could make things by thinking, by using the output of an incredibly powerful nuclear reactor (if i recall).
However, they could free not themselves from their version of the Adamic nature, so that a grudge against another was translated into murder while they were sleeping, the “monster from the ID” tapping into the same power used for constructive purposes.
“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. “ (Galatians 5:15)
