By relating to how individuals were accustomed to using violence in order to put across their thinking ever since the beginning of time, Freud wanted Einstein and the whole world to understand that people were predisposed to using violence in spite of the fact that they lobbied with regard to how violence is wrong. Not only did Freud believe that people were prone to violence because of their barbaric nature, as he also believed that "killing an enemy satisfied an instinctual inclination" (Freud). It is practically as if Freud considered that people were even capable to kill someone as long as they believed that they would put an end to a serious threat by doing so.

The fact that the philosophical concepts related to the imperialist era are very much similar to the ideas shown in the novel makes it possible for readers to understand that H.G. Wells wanted to address a larger context involving imperialist powers and their failure to comprehend the cultures they wanted to conquer.
