"There's always an arms race, so to speak, between state and society. And where the state becomes too powerful, we see the tyranny of the strong Leviathan, the strong state, where interestingly, where society becomes too powerful, or the state becomes too weak, what we tend to see are local tyrannies. So social tyrannies of norms are what the authors call the cage of norms, you know, the kind of village economies where if anybody rises too high, we cut them down, you know, direct enforcement of morality, like the kinds of local oppressions that make life difficult. So the ideal corridor and the narrow corridor of liberty is one in which the power of the state and the power of society are balanced. But that requires that both state and society compete to out-innovate one another. So there has to be this competitive dynamic." The real NSmolenskiihas been spitting fire non stop.
