The "super ego" is external to the brain, an external entity with its own will and agency, a nation-state government being one example. Other examples are shamans, blockchain technology, religious leaders and organizations, monarchs, kings and queens, external mediation that is above the ego, that can see further, and that tends to mediate larger groups, an example of multi-level selection of memes.

Psychiatric science studies the intersection of psychology and rule of law, and has commonly been exploited to legitimize a specific "super ego" and governance structure, and that bias, together with that the sciences have tended towards silos, occasionally crossing those to be "inter-disciplinary", has led to that ideas such as that the "super ego" is external have gone unrecognized.
