I think it helps everyone, to know that leftism isn't represented by those dorks. I've met lots of people who thought communism was the USSR, and that's why they were opposed to it. That's bad. We should fix it.
The Minds don't use fences or leashes. The Minds have more power, sure. They look after the factories and keep the trains running. But power doesn't mean control in a society without coercion. The Culture doesn't have laws.
The Minds don't control society. One guy decided that Masaq' Orbital's badlands should be covered in pylons with a gondola network to travel between them using wind power. So he convinced a bunch of people to work with him, and they made it happen. Even though Masaq' Hub doesn't like the pylons.
The Culture doesn't control its citizens. They can do whatever they want. The Minds just help out.
Well then they can have The Culture instead. Every citizen of the Culture has a big house, and gets to spend all day going to parties and doing extreme sports. Every citizen is as well off as a real world billionaire.
I know plenty of people who have ADHD and depression. So they're not always positive. But I think even with depression, they're usually more fun than most people.
