To which I can only reply: seriously, who asked you to decide what i want or do not want?
- altairprime 1y agoSomeone else in society asked. This article considers a valid role of societies: prohibiting the expression of certain desires in service of the public good. “Certain” is defined by the society’s opinions, which are not expressed in terms of any single person (outside of dictatorships and the like). Some opinions form slowly, or never reach the level of regulation of individual behavior. The society’s members follow IDIC so the expression of unasked-for questions from unexpected people is a universal constant. And once in a while one of those opinions will be enshrined in new regulation. Do you have a case to make against the argument that isn’t already being discussed in another thread, or is your objection that societies should not restrict personal liberties, or..?
