Every dominant ideology builds an Overton window that welcomes intense debate about distracting policy details, while forbidding anything that would undermine its memetic transmission to future generations. This is why academic free speech is important.

Its like forbidding the mutations in the memetic space. Perfect replication of DNA. No evolution possible

But is it 'wrong' for a system to guard against threat posed by mutations?—Naturalistic approach has limits. Ultimately, ethical question is phenomenological: do individuals experience unacceptable suppression of particular thoughts because of dominant paradigm, leading to fight?

Yes. But this is pretty much the view of both Kuhn & Foucault; what Kuhn called "normal science", inside a "paradigm". The right response to this (avant la lettre, against Marx & Freud; "immunization") is Popper's critical rationalism, and freedom of speech too, of course.
