How does your WV inform your politics?

[Angrboda]

Yes, in the same way I'd want discrimination against racists or Nazis or pedophiles universally adopted from behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance.

Wouldn't you?

No. Because thinking things are bad doesn't automatically lead to the conclusion that banning them is justified or good. Letting people play the lottery is bad. Letting people take drugs is bad. Letting people bet their life savings on the stock market is bad. But it is a generally recognized principle in democracies that it does more harm in the long run to society to restrict freedom unnecessarily no matter what the supposed good to be achieved by doing so is. The Nazis thought that they were improving society by killing the Jews. You think you're improving society by marginalizing the religious. The religious think they are improving society by marginalizing LGBTQ people. Racists think that they are improving society by trying to get rid of black people.

If you could invent one rule to apply to all these different harms, what would it be?
