The Problem With the Dam Argument

In his new book Maps of Meaning, David Frum outlines the problems with creating a utopia. He argues that as soon as you generate up your utopia, whatever it is, it turns into a structure and then it has the same problems as all the other structures have ever had. The Egyptians figured out 4,000 years ago was that every structure, so every king tended towards malevolence,. That's what happens in the Egyptian cosmology: Osiris is the god of structure; there's a god named Seth who's the evil brother of Osiris.
