Conquer the world and remake reality in his image. Literally satan in the story. In that time, the good side was losing badly and they werent certain how long they could hang on. The females wanted to wait until their super weapon was completed iirc but the males and the chosen one felt there was no time to waste as they were losing strength with every passing day. The males eventually chose to go on a direct strike on the dark capital to seal the dark one away from their reality but they failed to do so properly (possibly cause they lacked female support) and the backlash from the dark one tainted the male half of the power, which very few of them saw coming, and they went insane and fucked up the world by creating new mountains, destroying cities etc so a very pyrrhic victory. Civilisation dropped from more advanced than our times down to dark ages cause of that
So much so The Dark One's name is 'Shai'tan' and it's not the only example of such naming in the books what with The Final Battle being called "Tar'mon gaidon" which is just 'Armageddon' by another name. Likewise Aiel warriors refer to themselves as "Algai'd'siswai" which equates to 'I will guide us this way'.
They weren't simping. If they were simping they'd just have listened to the women and not launched the final attack on the dark one
