The role of the STATE, your NANNY or not? Nudging? behavioral economics? FORCE?
The role of the STATE, your NANNY or not? Nudging? behavioral economics? FORCE?
**“The Role of the State (!) — Nanny, Neutral Referee, or Quiet Manipulator?”** Freedom, Responsibility, Behavioral Economics, and Who Really Decides The modern state no longer just taxes, regulates, and enforces laws. It nudges. It designs choices. It subtly shapes behavior—often in the name of health, safety, equality, or efficiency. But where is the line between helping citizens and controlling them? This isn’t a left–right debate or a policy seminar. It’s a philosophical conversation about power, freedom, and the assumptions we make about human behavior. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Is the “nanny state” a myth—or a growing reality? * Behavioral economics: helping people choose better, or bypassing free will? * Are nudges respectful guidance—or soft coercion? * Who decides what “good behavior” actually is? * Can freedom survive if choices are engineered? * Do people need protection from themselves—or from the state? * And ultimately… what kind of citizens does this model create: autonomous adults or well-managed subjects? Casual discussion. No background in economics or political theory required—just curiosity and a willingness to reflect honestly. Whether you value strong institutions, personal freedom, or feel torn between the two—you’re not alone. Let’s examine the invisible hands shaping our choices—and ask how much guidance we really want.
Get together and write
Get together and write
We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session. **Here's how the meetup works:** * We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour. * After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across. The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects. You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. -- We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!
