More important point than the original debate.
Similarly, well functioning societies work because people want to be good, not because there is a huge repressive apparatus and intense surveillance.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A discussion analogizing alignment via internalized values (cells "not wanting" to become cancer; people "wanting" to be good) versus alignment via external control/surveillance — an argument for endogenous alignment over coercive restraint. Directly relevant to Nathan's interest in compelled-vs-endogenous values and alignment-via-character.
