You can condense the ten rules down to one:
1. You're not to think.
- chc 9y agoI think "Be humble" would be a better one-line version. They're basically about not believing oneself superior to others.
- asdfasfhretwt 9y agoNot really. Notice the stuff about you not being better than us or having anything to teach us. Janteloven has the flip side that everyone thinks that they have nothing to learn.
- vim_wannabe 9y agoOr maybe: you are not to give reasons (display of wealth or whatever) for other people to think of you as someone who would feel superior to others.
- spectaclepiece 9y agoMore like "Be humble or we will exclude you from society".
- asdfgadsfgasfdg 9y agoI don't know if you live/have lived in Scandinavia but this is depressingly accurate.
- spectaclepiece 9y agoNot true, you can think, as long as you think like everybody else.
- gjjrfcbugxbhf 9y agoWhich is not thinking for yourself.
