If I were God and I desired to empower my children, I think what I would do is create a universe in which there would be absolute light and darkness – though the light would be in the form of content and the darkness would be in the form, literally in visible forms – which as the human eye is attracted, therefore now the battle between what one knows is true, good, and kind versus what one finds appealing – like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden – and when man foolishly follows their predilections instead of convictions, and dies and suffers – and changes their mind, then they would be truly enlightened for eternity
