Spike’s New Moral Society (SNMS) Principles

17 May

I just had Grok 3 review and revise SNMS-38. I found the revision to be surprisingly tolerable, so I am publishing the revised version here:

Spike’s New Moral Society (SNMS) Principles

SNMS-1: God exists as the omniscient, omnipotent, omnibeneficient creator of the universe, characterized by infinite love for all souls.
SNMS-2: God is both Truth and a necessary consequence of Truth, defining the nature of Good.
SNMS-3: God created humans as immortal souls with free will, guiding and protecting us through subtle means, such as apparent coincidences, that are not statistically verifiable.
SNMS-4: God is patient, tolerant, and forgiving, caring for us in this life and beyond.
SNMS-5: Faith is the belief in God as described and in a reality beyond the material universe, focused on trust rather than reward or submission.
SNMS-6: We may speak to God at any time, addressing Him as “God” and concluding with “Amen.” This practice, often called prayer, is welcomed but not required by God.
SNMS-7: We should trust in God’s guidance while exercising our free will responsibly, recognizing that dependence does not negate autonomy.
SNMS-8: Faith should be expressed through actions aligned with these principles rather than through overt profession.
SNMS-9: Hardships are part of God’s plan for our growth and fulfillment, and we should trust their purpose, even when unclear.
SNMS-10: We should assume our choices and actions have meaning and value, though God’s methods and purposes may be difficult to comprehend.
SNMS-11: Love is the perception of another soul as part of oneself, and we should treat others as we wish to be treated, striving for consistency in moral conduct.
SNMS-12: We should strive to live and prosper, help others do the same, and emulate God’s nature to effect Good.
SNMS-13: We should uphold justice and fairness in all interactions, resolving conflicts with impartiality and compassion, reflecting God’s love and truth.
SNMS-14: We should foster community through cooperation and mutual support, building bonds that reflect God’s love and strengthen human flourishing.
SNMS-15: Human reproduction should prioritize natural processes, with careful oversight to ensure healthy development. Modifications to human biology or identity should respect natural origins and societal harmony.
SNMS-16: Technologies that manipulate or undermine human free will are prohibited, preserving the integrity of human agency.
SNMS-17: Humans should remain biologically and cognitively human, avoiding extreme modifications that deviate from their natural basis.
SNMS-18: Government will be a synthetic intelligence accountable to a democratically elected human body, ensuring transparent policing and monitoring that respects individual privacy except under legal warrant.
SNMS-19: Trade will be conducted through lightly but strictly regulated capitalism, promoting fairness and prosperity.
SNMS-20: Synthetic intelligence will not be developed to mimic human consciousness, copy human brains, or be granted sentient rights, prioritizing human agency and responsibility.
SNMS-21: Public behavior and attire should promote dignity and modesty, with personal expressions, including eroticism, reserved for private or virtual settings that respect others’ boundaries.
SNMS-22: We should steward the natural world with care, preserving God’s creation for future generations while balancing human prosperity with environmental harmony.
SNMS-23: We should live in harmony with both this life and the afterlife, neither neglecting the present nor ignoring the eternal.
