Why do you want to regulate against human nature? That always massively backfired.

In my view, it is successful more often than not. Laws against stealing, murder, etc., are a form of regulating against human nature, and they appear to be pretty successful.

Regulation is mandatory in order to have a society. The question isn't whether or not it should exist, but whether or not the particular regulation is good.
