well, activism is what else there isSo, society's standards evolve when a bunch of people decide something's wrong and go to protests, make blog posts, have arguments on the internet, and sometimes complain about injustices in person. I guess I'm not upset with

please - a "philosopher archchancellordom". better not to exclude go players with chess-and-checkers-ist language.

slightly more seriously, I am quite taken with the term "Philosopher King". it belongs right up there with "God Emperor".

actually seriously, I think the different reactions speak to the spectrum nature of how governments may impose morality on the public. one end is too heavy-handed and bound to hurt people (making jews wear badges); the current system is more passive/hands-off (as elaborated in reply to rob). In light of that, perhaps I am really just wondering if there is a sweeter spot somewhere in between? And the question of how it could be structured (middling sweet spots always tend to be more complicated to hit than either end) depends on finding that spot.
