"It seems as though a society that is intolerant of all forms of degeneracy shuts
off its own Dynamic growth and becomes static. But a society that tolerates all
forms of degeneracy degenerates. Either direction can be dangerous. The mechanisms
by which a balanced society grows and does not degenerate are difficult, if not
impossible, to define." (Lila, 17)
