Since reality imposes strict constraints on universal instant gratification, Sunstein is arguing to justify population control (e.g. abortion), denigration of individual dignity (i.e. diversity), and redistributive change. The last which will necessarily be selective, since not everyone will enjoy a beachfront property in Hawaii, and mortal gods, or their oracles (e.g. Sunstein), will not degrade themselves to the level of a common mortal being.
I wonder how many people have to die, how many people have to be enslaved, to realize Sunstein’s dream. The people who recognize their individual dignity will not voluntarily submit to the rule of tyrants. In the 20th century alone, the mortal gods, and their foot soldiers, terminated around 100 million lives ex utero, and delegated or coerced the termination of several hundred millions lives in utero.
