Fine guiding principles. Here's how I see our conversation going from here based on the other times I've had this conversation:
Me: I don't believe in your principles.
You: But they are what's best for society.
Me: I don't care about what's best for society, I care about what's best for me.
You: But what's best for society is what's best for you!
Me: That's frequently not the case.
You: Well, that's why we have principle #6.
Me: What happens when a group of people who think your principles are stupid inevitably form within the society and amass enough power to nullify #6 like they always do in every society in the history of ever?
You: Well they're jerks.
Me: Jerks off getting bjs on their private jets while you're off in a field picking potatoes.
You: ???
