It kinda has...
Currently we are open to new things.
In 40k anything new and different is usually also bad.
That is to some extent culture but it has become ingrained in human nature in 40k...

No, some aspects of our society are open to new things. Others are not. Human nature, itself, has changed at all in thousands of years.
In 40K, what is "new and different" is probably an aspect of a soul-eating monstrosity from another dimension, so people (rightly) don't go for the "new and different". If today's model didn't get you pulled screaming into Hell, why would you risk the chance with tomorrow's model?

Am I wrong or don't humans present a threat to the warp. It is implied several times that the age of strife was caused by a cataclysm by people over using warp powers. That cataclysm took place in the warp meaning that a lot of its instabilities could have been caused by people. The warp entities might have been benevolent at one point but at this point the IoM is just a threat to them and they are defending themselves so they wouldn't be benevolent to people i could be entirely wrong but it seems plausible to me.

Right but the IoM is a threat to chaos and they can take any sentient race not just humans, also a catastrophe on the scale to cause the age of strife i doubt only affected one side. Why would they be benevolent towards humanity when a decent portion of humanity is trying to wage basically genocide against them...

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."

Indeed. A better way to fight Chaos is to 'disbelieve' it into non-existence.

Black library twists fluff like no other, it's not a good source.
While Lexicanum and 40K wiki are in no way complete sources, provide free information, and is vastly superior to the BL.

The problems with Lexicanum and 40wiki are that they incorporate the very same fluff from Black Library. At times, this may end up in contradictory articles, as wiki editors try to "merge" different sources into a single article and have to sort out contradictions, obviously ending in a lot of individual interpretation fueled by personal preferences.
The wikis are best used for a general overview and as a repository for looking up the actual sources, then preferrably make up your own mind.

Both. The former would reduce the Powers to impotence - there are instances IRL where people who live in haunted houses/places don't get affected by paranormal events because they refuse to accept its existence even when everything and everyone around them is being tormented, the old man was trying to replicate this effect across the whole Human race - and simultaneously free the Humans from the shackles of superstition and organized religion. Even the Wolves of Fenris would agree with the Sons of Prospero on this.

It is possible, but not mentioned in canon because it's not relevant to the grimdark theme. You might want to write a few stories about it to help expand it in that case.
And the Wikia Warhammer 40,000 Wiki is a fanfiction wiki. Their lists of sources are a joke, and their articles lack any citations and take a way too liberal interpretation of canon. They take anything that is speculated or implied and pass it off as canon, when they don't blatantly insert fanfiction into the articles.
Wikia is also the Third Reich of the internet, and Montonius is a complete idiot for a variety of reasons, including defending the use of fanfiction in articles.

Yeah, they are constantly changing fluff (even for first founding legions) and not in a good way...like they are forming their own picture and losing objectivity...
But the sadest part is that lot of forum fanboys are sticking to it like a blind man to a stick...

No. GW is all about the nerds.

Isn't Chaos (not the gods, the realm) like a flowing river of raw energy (emotions) which, when pooled together, form and new entity? So what if some posivitve mojo pooled? Would it create a "good" entity? I'd like to think that (and of course its just my personal opinion) that it does but it soon gets "eaten" or overpowered by some form of the 4 big gods.
However there are some that survive through guile and cunning and every so often escape to the material word to help (and therefore increase their own powers) mortals.
Someone has to be annoying the big gods apart from the Emporer.

What about the eldar gods before Slannessh, they were in the warp as evidenced by the creation of Avatars (slaanesh fought Khaine and defeated him but couldnt kill him so sent him from the warp in pieces)
Reading the eldar codex and from memory there were quite a few other eldar gods where did these come from? could these not have been created by the eldar in the countless years before the fall?

She isn't a daemon (nor probably any other of the Eldar Gods, for that case), just a Warp Entity who isn't a sadistic, twisted Chaos God. I see that as benign.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Currently attempting to put together a homebrew non-canon Space Marine chapter. If I can be bothered to getting around to painting the models and putting the things together of course... |

The only entity benevolent to us is the old man.
