              A lot of people can’t and won’t learn “virtue”. This is a fact you can observe with your own eyes by simply going outside and looking at how many people despite having all the tools to learn to be better refuse to do so. Plato was right.

                    It is because I do not expect them to do better that I believe Plato is right. If people are not able to willingly make themselves better then we need to resort to coercion, the noble lie.

                        You can’t, thus you condition through coercion.
