This is the world's history compiled in one single 20 minute episode. Throughout the episode we see how the only reason people lived was to reproduce (while also dying at a young age). Then religion came into the picture and made us find meaning in society, which is exactly what Summer is creating with making "Glorzo". This is keeping the world/mind at peace while also expanding civilization and society. And finally we have the Enlightment era, when Rick and Morty (accidentally) remove their face masks which makes them able to see the world "as it really is", with their own eyes and not the society's. With this comes destruction and agony (like WW2 and the destruction of the 20th century). This could create some kind of parallell with Nietzsches philosophy:
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."
Those are my two cents.
