A Nudge too far

There is a fine line between being a clever, benevolent technocrat or entrepreneur on one hand and a controlling, supercilious asshole on the other.

Title in reference to the book, of course.

It's hard to define the line (or more likely, several lines) that you can cross to get from one to the other because, well, people. But I can tell you one way to get to the wrong side of the line: slide from making the choice you prefer easy into actively standing between me and the choice I want. That's asshole territory plain and simple.
