Easy the philosophers Plato and Socrates who believed that only philosophers and those who sought wisdom should have a say in the affairs of the sate. I mean philosophy is full of ideas of how nations should be organized and it's interesting because there's no dogma around it and no villainizing disagreements
>e "nipping dangerous ideas in the bud" language relates to those ideas being implemented, not being discussed.
Great because last I checked Tobais Lutke was discussing the idea not implementing it
