Other people's liberty must be held in abeyance at times to prevent bad actors from destroying their own, often with tack-on race to the bottom effects. The quintessential example is that it should be illegal to sell yourself into slavery. But there is a finer gradient to it.

The other major example is mental illness. But mental competence is obviously a gradient. At present, acknowledging this risks tyranny. But when transhumanism brain modification becomes tenable it will simply present obligations, rather than requiring messy limitations.
