Your conclusion doesn't make sense. There are many people who do good things because they are convinced of a higher cause. People go into medicine, or help at a charity, or go into law for a higher cause all the time.

I am thinking that a google search about an interview question about the number of ridges on a US quarter or "Quarter" (whatever the 25 cent coin is) would unlikely point to this thread, or to your statement, which is (paraphrased

The idea that more authoritarianism will keep us safe is an enticing idea. After all, if you have nothing to hide, why should you care? As mentioned elsewhere, there are better ways to reduce criminality than a "guilty until proven i
