This sounds indeed horrifying. However, it can be argued that the disadvantages are worth the advantages. And the advantages are basically hypothetical and theoretical.
Like herd immunity - so if x% of the population is vaccinated, a given disease cannot take hold and spread. If that number is too low, this no longer goes and the disease can spread enough to mutate and bypass resistances provided by vaccines.
This is a neat idea, but it's only proven to be true once the negative event occurs. But this argumentation applies to a lot of things, like questioning the validity of tradition and ancient wisdom, questioning the concept of government, or even arguing the jews are the source of most problems, or just gnawing away at the pillars of a building until it collapses.
These are things we'll only find out if they are true or false when it's "too late." I like to look into the information that is available and draw conclusions based on that. Or rather remain uncertain and open for options. I am not afraid to change things, to introduce novelty. But I do not forget that established norms may have a good reason to exist which I might not know.
So traditions? It's complex, but we "found out" that feminism, that is against that, is utterly destructive and corrosive to society. Government? Libertarian stance - small government, dedicated to defending the people, and doing what must be done but cannot be left to free market. jews? TKD and then we'll see. Won't be a big loss even if we are wrong. Vaccines? I think it's worth seeing if their fearmongering is true. Even if something happens, so what? Some people may die, but the information provided can reveal to us if we got intergenerationally scammed or not.
