“The Ten Humanitarian Commandments

1. First you are human, then everything else.

2. No one is the authority of your life, but you.

3. Impose nobody on nobody.

4. Don’t be rigid about anybody’s ideas – expand on them.

5. Take a thinker as a mental companion if you need, but not the only companion.

6. Always have some healthy respect for fiction, and never glorify facts at the expense of humanity.

7. Booze, smoke and others, try all for experience if you desire, so long as they don’t end up owning you.

8. Learn from everything and everyone, but pledge allegiance to no one.

9. No weapons, period – except in intensely exceptional circumstances like the Ukraine invasion.

10. Love is the supreme religion, love is the supreme law, love is the supreme science.”
