If you cut the bullshit, you cut most of society out. Institutions, the government, the media, the left, the right, corporations... And bullshit is the glue that keeps it all together. So, I would add one more rule. The George Carlin rule: -- Are they part of any group? That actually covers the first and second rule of the author. But to hate the government is suicide because we are the government. Same with society, and same with groups. My logical conclusion with regards to speech: Learn to observe, think, form your own opinions, always speak your mind, and be no part of group think or group speech. Which is exactly what George Carlin did. In an ideal world, no one would be part of any group. But since we all are, here is the Carlin rule revised: -- Are they openly critical of their groups? But again, most groups do not tolerate external or internal criticism. They're the disloyal traitors and whistle-blowers. So most of us have to chalk this up as doing our job, so we can all have one. Not everyone get's paid to speak like George. But wherever and whenever we can, we should promote and protect the groups that embrace and advocate free speech against themselves. They are the only groups sustaining free speech.
