“The liberal ideal is that we ought always to be striving for an open society; a society that is ‘open to ideas,’ ‘open to people,’ and ‘open to change.’ In an open society, if you hate your boss or your job, you can quit. If you hate where you live, you can move somewhere else. Artists do not need to fear offending either the church or the party. Citizens can criticize or even insult political leaders without fearing reprisal. Subcommunities can experiment with different lifestyles freely. Difference is allowed, and dynamism is the rule rather than the exception. … An open society is an achievement for which there is no one path, no formula. Once achieved, however, it must be maintained.” (10/01/24)
