“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” in God in the Dock
Thank you, Sasha. I always look forward to these interviews. It's great to listen to Carlson conduct his interviews because he allows his guests to talk, without interrupting or arguing with them. Plus, he asks really great questions that challenge his guests to fully describe their opinions and their experiences.
