RULES OF THE GAME

There are some rules of the game for participating in bourgeois culture.  I came across these as a newcomer to bourgeois fun and enjoyment.

1. You must take all comments as neutral.  Everyone is just expressing themselves liberally. Comments are rational.


2.  If you raise an issue, you are individually responsible for bearing the burden of that issue.


3.  See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.


4.  (Trans. Observe nothing, hear nothing, speak nothing.)


5.  Power=> truth. First get power, and then what you say will be deemed True.  Truth never leads to having power, but having power means what you say will be deemed to be True.


6.  Acceptance = sobriety.  Accept everything.  It's a sign of personal sobriety and good moral judgment.


7.  Lack of power is a deficiency requiring heavy handed morality to correct it.


8.  History has no meaning.


9.  Experiences have no meaning.


10.  Language has to confirm the pattern Truth=Power=Integrity or otherwise it fails.
