>Why is it that whenever people suggest any kind of nudge that might be helpful to society, the immediate response is to take it to a totalitarian nightmare.

Perhaps because those nudges are already a totalitarian nightmare. People should control the government, not the other way around, and definitely not their personal lives and habbits.

The prohibition or the "war on drugs" weren't some made up fantasy nightmare, but very real history of a totalitarian nightmare.
