RE: Would you be successful in writing Ten new Commandments?
Ok, here is mine. It is done in the original format.
1.) Thou shall not fuck with anothers ability to be employed. 2.) Thou shall treat other beings (including lesser ones) with the respect you expect for yourself. 3.) Thou shall not lie for personal gain. 4.) Thou shall always step in and put bullies in their place. 5.) Never take anything for granted and question authority. 6.) Never view someone doing a job that you will not do as less valuable as you are, since without them you will probably be rolling in your own filth before too long. 7.) Humans are not property. 8.) All life is intelligent in its' own way. 9.) Always help people who try to help themselves. 10.) Thou shall not steal, rape, or murder even if it is legal. |

Quote:2. Do not hurt or kill people.Terrible. Exceptions, exceptions, exceptions. Oh no! A man is going to kill my wife in 5 seconds unless I shoot him! What do I do?? NOTHING! The commandment is to not hurt or kill of course! My country is being invaded! What do I do? NOTHING! Killing them is evil! Quote:3. Do not lie, cheat, or steal.Honesty is the best policy little children! Bullshit. Nazi: Do you know where the group of Jews are hiding!? If so tell me! Must tell the truth, as the commandment states! Me: Yes I do, over there. 1000 Jews were murdered. Quote:4. People are not property.How is this a command? Quote:5. Honor all commitments to your spouse, family, community.I vowed to help paint the community hall. What's this, my son just got killed? Fuck that, must obey commandment! Quote:6. Always seek to learn new things.Like what? What happens when you stick a chicken in a toaster and throw it off a cliff?? Quote:7. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.Therefore I like waffles. How is this a commandment? Quote:8. Do not worship any gods. Ever.This is utterly retarded. Forcing people to NOT believe in a god is just as bad as forcing people TO believe in a god. Quote:9. Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.I will live how I want thank you very much. Quote:10. Question everything, including these commandments.Utter stupidity. |

I tend to view his second one the same as the 1st law of robotics (A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.). And my interpretation goes nicely with his 10th commandment. Question everything. |

1. Don't listen to people who come to you with lists of commandments.

Its not circular as such although a commandment that you question commandments is likely to lead to circular thinking, it is however not within the critera set by the OP, ie commandments must be beyond reinterpretation. Your commandment whilst independently reasonable flies completely in the face of this guideline and is thus not fit for purpose.
