They are definitely fantastic principles, but note that a lot of people claim they are doing the first two while they are doing the opposite (on both sides of politics). Not that this is unique to these principles: There is always a ton of dishonest noise complicating every positive ideology.

Given that we're going to fuck up, what next? The way to judge, I think, whether you're in good shape is whether or not you have a culturally ingrained mechanism for atonement and forgiveness, and whether or not that mechanism recursively 1. doesn't treat people like things; 2. seeks to uplift and empower; 3. is fundamentally grounded in love.
