Rousseau states that culture is not a sign of a stable state, but rather the opposite. All art comes from social commentary, and if you're not speaking aloud then you're not fulfilling your duty as part of the sovereign and as a citizen. Therefore in the ideal state, art would be a sign of dissent. So ultimately, all states that develop strong arts and letters - are actually in a state of decay. Major decay. And Alberta has just been declared the Cultural Capital of the West.
