I`m not OP, but I don't like posts like yours because they pretend that current status (not even status, your idea about current status) will never-ever change.

I'm all ears listening to suggestions for how to realistically change the current status, I just haven't heard any reasonable ones that are actually tenable. Also, while I think there are plenty of annoyances with the current status, I rarely think they are as catastrophic as their detractors make them out to be.

I mean to address your questions we have to answer more complex questions of what society and culture is.

At least in my thinking, which may be incorrect, is that you cannot have a society that allows everything. Because allowing oneself to be destroyed is in the set of everything.

I'm not sure how your idealism doesn't fall foul of the paradox of tolerance?
