But this already presumes that the universal goal is to be flourishing and happy, rather than to be free. These goals are often opposed. What I'm honestly asking is from where authority is derived for the "flourishing" camp to force their opinions onto the "freedom" camp?
The main value I'm proposing is "consent". It's rather less arbitrary than "flourishing" or "happy" or "fair". The basic premise is that all human interactions, relationships and associations ought to be as consensual as we have realized romantic ones ought to be. You're no more entitled to a surgery or a loan than a partner. If you disagree, then all I'm asking is from where do you derive the entitlement?
