“Old Tang, you activated speed-related Genetic Base Points. What’s the direction of those Base Points?” This question caused Tang Ting to have a melancholic expression. “It’s… Hand speed…” “And the right hand at that!” Xu Tui slipped onto a daze. Hand speed and the right hand. This image… Didn’t the teacher say that it was easier to activate the Base Points of the areas you use the most? “Old Tang, just what do you use your hands for?” “According to that explanation, did I activate the Genetic Base Points in my stomach because I’ve eaten 18 year’s worth of meals?” Cheng Mo, who was on his way to becoming a glutton, looked up and sighed. Xu Tui stroked his head, “Could it be because I’ve used my brain for 18 years?”

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

This statement might suggest that the state is a fictional entity in that it is often idealized. For example, states are often presented as unified and harmonious entities, but in reality, they are made up of diverse groups with different interests, and the idea of a monolithic 'state' is a sort of fiction. It also could mean that the power and authority we attribute to the state are not as absolute as they seem, as they are often based on social contracts that are more fluid and changeable than we sometimes assume.

This phrase suggests that the state is a construct that doesn't have an absolute or essential existence. The state is defined by our collective beliefs and actions. We give it power, functions, and a sense of identity. For instance, the state's authority to tax, make laws, and enforce regulations is based on the general acceptance of the people. It's like a fictional story that we all believe in and act according to, but it doesn't exist in the same way as natural physical entities.

What does Bastiat mean by 'the state is the great fiction'?

Bastiat's statement 'the state is the great fiction' can be understood as a critique of the over - glorification of the state. The state is not some kind of self - existent, all - knowing entity. It is created by humans, and often its functions and powers are not as clear - cut as we might be led to believe. It's a fictionalized concept in that it is made to seem more than what it actually is, which is a system created and run by fallible human beings with various interests and agendas.
