So you would describe a social violent, abstinent monastry in the desert as a healthy society? As in, a society is the sum of artifacts & progress it produces, not the well being of its members?

No of course not. Except there's not much push for that - so I don't feel the need to say anything against it. On the other hand: there is a push to legalize and promote prostitution, decriminalize hard drugs, normalize sexual content towards minors, and so on all under the guise of "how does it affect YOU what other people do?". My point is that: regardless of the unhealthy behavior, if enough individuals are partaking, eventually it DOES affect me. I don't care if you want to pay a prostitute, I just don't want it normalized (because then it affects me). I don't care if you want to do hard drugs safely, I just don't want it normalized (because then it affects me). I don't care if you want to follow fundamentalist religious doctrine, I just don't want it normalized (because then it affects me). Some things should just stay taboo.
