      I’d argue that fighting and punishing hate speech would be protected by Tenet II, which takes priority over “other laws”.

      Eh, the phrasing is a bit on the libertarian side for my liking (are we still doing phrasing?), but I like the sentiment. I take the “social contact” view of the Paradox of Tolerance, so speech and rhetoric that deprives others of their rights should not be protected, IMHO.

      Plus, this is designed more as a personal code of ethics rather than system of government, so I’m not really too worried about “enforcing” any of these. And since I personally don’t see a conflict when it comes to limiting the speech of others if it is inciting violence or encouraging discrimination, I think it’s ok the way it’s written.

      But hey, to thine own stuff self be true. Write your own version if you like and share it around.
