A good question for public intellectuals, if we still have any

What are the proper limits of safety? How safe is too safe? Is there not a point where people just get stupid, weak minded and reflexively obedient even to the stupidest orders?

And have we reached that point?

The Israelis have a national habit, I guess I will call it, of encouraging their kids to play with found objects, which may in some cases literally come from trash heaps.  Can you not see the genius in this?
