Peterson claims that in order to prevent cultural dissolution, states need an overarching goal such as economic growth or religious/transcendental goals and a decent amount of uniformity and hierarchical organization. | Peterson claims that in order to prevent cultural dissolution, states need an overarching goal such as economic growth or religious/transcendental goals and a decent amount of uniformity and hierarchical organization. | ||
To avoid corrupted hierarchies, he claims, it is necessary to keep them fairly flat (decentralization) and use regulated free market such that the best players prevail and inefficient/corrupt players get outcompeted/destroyed by better ones. He regards boundaries and social norms as fundamental for a functioning state, but admits there also needs to be some adaptability and flow of information (free speech) to avoid a totalitarian state (''classical liberalism''). | To avoid corrupted hierarchies, he claims, it is necessary to keep them fairly flat (decentralization) and use regulated free market such that the best players prevail and inefficient/corrupt players get outcompeted/destroyed by better ones. He regards boundaries and social norms as fundamental for a functioning state, but admits there also needs to be some adaptability and flow of information (free speech) to avoid a totalitarian state (''classical liberalism''). He claims it is naive to assume there is a definite set of rules for ideally structuring a state (ideology), except for leaving up the determination of the rules, to a competitive process with free speech. For this reason, men need to be socialized to be competitive and dependable. | ||
