let's say that this point is correct. Do you trust politicians to take that away from it?
most people give me the creeps. Banks was particularly clear about the moral ambiguity and grey areas though. I mean, one of his most memorable Minds is named "Grey Area" (aka Meatfucker)

I'm not sure that's true, tbh. As I recall the 'Gray Area' is looked down upon by other Minds, and I think most people would see this as further proof that the Culture was enlightened and wise, though some of it's members (even Minds) weren't, and were thus ostracised.

Grey Area is the one who understood that the Minds in the ITG were high on their own righteousness, and he was the only one with the courage to actually engage directly with the anomaly that was causing the whole situation in the first place
-
ah, what you're saying is "Gray Area did nothing wrong"?
-
Gray Area was exactly as wrong as human(oid) history is wrong, which is to say, very wrong, in millions of fascinating new ways, which was Banks' point right?
