> Let people make their own mistakes, you don't get to decide for them.

I struggle with this. I wish my mistakes didn't impact other people, and for a lot of things, they don't. But for some things, they really do.

What do you think we should do when one person's mistake impacts many others?

Hard to answer your question without a context. Do you have any particular examples in mind?
Hmm, I'm struggling to find one that you might think would warrant external rules to restrict someone's freedom to make a mistake. I'll think about it more.
