No I do not believe that to be so. I do not think or speak of "society" (except to those who do it first). Only Individuals matter. Anything called "society" is just something SOME (well most) people like to fiddle with, like soccer or dandruff or religion. I have no more interest in any "society" than I have in dandruff or soccer, and I would not raise a finger to prevent the death of any "society" or "culture" as long as no Individual was being harmed. (For that matter, I would not raise a finger to prevent the extinction of the USA, or the Human Species, as long as no Individual was being harmed - and yes I have posited scenarios in which such things might come about without any violation of NAP).
