What is required of the growth of a self-propagating system is efficiency. Human needs, desires, and values are only proximate needs of the system: without some degree of catering to human material conditions, they would no longer function as efficiently.
As far as we are concerned, there is nothing to say that the most efficient system for the growth of a corporation, organization, government, or Leviathan will include the well-being of humans- perhaps not even their existence. If technological advancement brings human psychology to its breaking point, Leviathan will be in need of modifying human beings or eliminating its use for them; this could be through AI and robots, which may prove to be more versatile than humans, or it could be through the modification of humans such that they are leas taxing to the system. Perhaps it could be as trivial as increasing their nutritional efficiency, but it could also be as sinister as conversion into body slaves (à la Half-Life's Stalker entities).

Society is an organism, and it is evil.
