> I much prefer being somewhere that has everything- grimey to super nice and flashy. The psychological trait of Orderliness definitely plays into both the aesthetic qualities and the deference to authority within a society. I prefer the clean and flashy aesthetic to a grimey one, but I probably prefer a more natural, organic aesthetic to either. While I think many politically right-leaning people (like myself) see a lot to admire in Singapore, my own response is more measured. Like you noted, the authoritarian nature of such a state can come across as paternalistic, whereas I would rather be treated as an autonomous adult.
