Okay, one more post.

We have always had intellectual freedom. It was intellectual freedom that came
up with gods, and kings, and then different gods, and then one god, reading and
writing, poetry, art, music, legal systems, politics, money, trade, etc. All
these changing ideas happened and continue to change to this day in the Social
Level. The Social level is not deadly static and fixed in stone.

Whoa! I think you've glossed over the difference between social and
intellectual values that makes things hopelessly muddy. And who said the social
level was deadly static and fixed in stone?
We've always had intellectual freedom? Are you kidding? Until very recent
times, saying the wrong thing would get you killed. The Inquisition springs to
mind. The Scopes Monkey trial, McCarthyism are also very famous examples of
social level restrictions on intellectual freedom. Sorry, but I think that's
just about the wrongest thing I've heard all day.
