The key to a healthy society is the freedom to do better.
The freedom from being forced to support things that you know to be wrong.
This freedom produces a multi-threaded society (many people can try different things) which allows the best ideas to out compete the worst.
It produces a robust ecosystem that can adjust & adapt quickly to uncertain situations & events. It is often very difficult to tell right from wrong, especially in unique or novel situations. It is ONLY real world application of our ideas that can truly determine right from wrong. A multi-threaded approach produces many answers. A single threaded appraoch, where everyone is forced to do the same thing, produces a single answer & if that answer is wrong everyone suffers. It could theoretically even destroy the human race entirely. A single threaded society is necessarily hyper fragile.
The multi-threaded nature of a healthy society vs single threaded conditions that lead to collapse are illustraded by everything from the Babylon story, to diversity vs monocultures in animal & plant life, to the collapse of every authoritarian communist regime ever. It's this same lack of diversity in ideas, the same forced collectivization, & the destruction of individual rights, that is causing our society to crumble today
