I wasn't suggesting that we do so, I was pointing out the absurdity of saying that not doing something for social benefit is the same as harming Society
You stated categorically that "society and legislators should only forbid harmful action" rather than "compelling helpful action" and then chose a particularly nonsensical example of "compelling helpful action" to prove your point. There are plenty of (much more realistic) examples of "compelling helpful action" which don't lead to "absurd conclusions."
Yes, I chose an extreme and absurd example to illustrate the point. I said as much in the post.
I agree that there are many realistic examples of compelling action. If you provide some I would probably disagree that the government should be doing them.
