I think where you, Huemer and probably most of the readers (including me) agree is that we probably shouldn't be prescribing how people live their personal lives, in *any* direction. There are, essentially, two sorts of social conservatism and two sorts of social liberalism.

Conservatism has:

- a prescriptive branch, that tries to force people into old social norms, and in its most extreme form is a kind of "back to the 1950s"

- a live-and-let-live branch, which tries to absorb diversity into the old structures (eg by promoting gay marriage as opposed to queer polycules)

Liberalism has:

- a live-and-let-live branch (which isn't really that different from the conservative version above, maybe there are more differences on things like immigration)

- a prescriptive branch, that wants to push everyone into nonconformism (which, of course, is nothing of the sort, it's just conformism to a different set of norms).

We're all live-and-let-live folk here, right? As stated above, it's difficult to slot us into the culture-war binary, we could be parsed as either conservative or liberal. Maybe we should just get away from thinking rigidly along this axis? (Ooh look, we discovered a spectrum rather than sticking to a rigid binary, the woke brigade will be all over that!)
