In fact, I think people are more likely to be happy if they have more freedom, rather than less, when it comes to social choices. I do not think the economic choice to fail absolutely (and to slide in to disease, starvation, or degradation) is a choice that makes society "better" (imo). Your original statement split social from economic choices. In this post you addressed social choices and the economic choice "to fail absolutely." Would you clarify where you put other economic choices? You didn't mention them this round. Does your concern about a fractured society still apply to all economic choices or have you since narrowed it down to just the economic choice to fail absolutely? I would think that you would think that people would be happier if they could make the economic choice, for example, to buy books at Costco if they liked. Or sell them on EBay.
