I’m arguing rather for the European medieval- early modern social consensus, before the invention of liberal idealism. This is a social matter, rooted in human phsysiology/hard coded psychology, in a cumulative, evolved social process. To understand the concept of tradition, I think, you have to read Burke, the founder of conservatism as an ideology.

Fauci isn’t a conservative at all. He is a dirigiste right out of the French Revolution. He knows better, he thinks, guided as he is by “reason”.

To be clear, I don’t think you understand the issues or their analogies at all.

To be clear, you didn’t answer the question. You can reference Burke all you’d like. The fact seems to be that you’d be in favor of lowering (or eliminating) the age of consent in boys. You can justify it using whichever philosopher you’d like.
