It strikes me that you've proposed something in between the two. Something sensible and realistic about humans. I look at culture as being a bit like science. For a new scientific theory to hold it has to not only explain new things but also better perform the functions of the theory it supplants. Your theory and the culture it endorses seems like one that would not only lead to greater liberty and better people but also greater wealth, convenience and better products. It offers something new but also does a better job on the corporate tasks.

Thanks for the kind words, Ryan. I think this is the first time anyone's called me moderate. Just stumbled across this. Thanks for the kind words, Ryan.
