I think the Golden Age of the West is over. And we’re going to head in the Dark Ages. We won’t see much advances in technology. Just take a look at Saudi Arabia.
“I must disagree with this as well. Unrestricted liberty has no downside.”
Really? So you think someone being free to drive recklessly down the road, run red lights with impunity, help himself to whatever he can at a store, beat up on some weak victims, rape the nearest girl when he gets horny, etc, etc, all those “liberties” have no downside? There shouldn’t be restricted by the force of law??
Unrestrained freedom in a society can be just as evil as total restriction. There is a middle ground that works best, and the fight for defining that middle ground is what most of politics is all about. It’s the tug of war between the left (who wants more control of individuals) and the right (who wants less).
