This points at a very crucial and deep divide in people’s social philosophy, which is how to ensure bad things are minimized.

One major branch of this theory goes like:

Make sure people are good people, and punish those who do wrong

And the other major branch goes like:

Make sure people don’t have the power needed to do wrong

Very deep, very serious divide in our zeitgeist, and we never talk about it directly but I think we really should.

(Or maybe we shouldn’t, because the conversation could be dangerous in the wrong hands)

I’m in the former camp. I think people should have power, even if it enables them to do bad things.
