Following aphorisms like the quote are part of how we achieve such a self regulating society.

No. Following stuff like that quote is how you run a self-regulated society and keep it self-regulating.

If however the baseline already moved into chaos, the quote just leads to tying your own hands and complacency.

It is the right prescription for the wrong disease, essentially. We need chemotherapy/surgery and not mild cough syrup.
