Summary

This quote suggests that when society enforces prohibitions or bans on certain activities or behaviors, it inadvertently encourages a covert or hidden counter-culture to emerge. It implies that prohibiting something does not completely eliminate or eradicate it, but rather drives it underground, causing it to thrive in secret. This can be seen in historical examples such as the prohibition of alcohol that led to the rise of speakeasies and illegal alcohol production and distribution. The quote highlights the unintended consequences of prohibition, emphasizing that it can often create more complex and hidden problems.
