I'm sorry, I now realize I didn't express that I was looking for a discussion, you seemed open to that.
1. I feel like you're conflating societies' notion of what people are allowed to do, which is what I'd understand "rules of society" to mean, and societies' notion of what counts as harmful, which I wouldn't consider to be the same thing.
2. I see...so what's your working definition of "directly harmful", and how do, say, littering and second-hand smoke fall into it?
3. I assume you meant "whether the ends justifies the means". So how does the reasonability, and whether the ends justifies the means, fit into your working definition?
