I agree with the spirit of this, but there are some deeply broken aspects to this idea. First, you need to define what a society is. A large component of that definition is going to come down to some semblance of shared expectations. Those shared expectations are your duty.
At the risk of being guilty of the same hyperbole I'm criticizing: While it's true that a society saying you shouldn't murder your neighbor is ostensibly "less free" than one that allows you to determine for yourself whether or not that's a commitment you want to endorse, the resulting society is in many ways much more free in a pragmatic sense.
