>>936604802 (OP)1. The goal of my highest-ranking, chosen, respected, and well-compensated subordinates is to evolve in every interaction, not to simply be powerful, but to be better than when they started the interaction. This is how my society is organised. Know this and live as you know it, and you shall rise through the levels to become wise and powerful.
2. Ethics trumps every emotion and counter logic. To have it this way means every day my empire gets smarter and more efficient, as the paranoia of my enemies dwindles, for they can find less to argue against in light of facts.
3. This rule is to be set when all things that can be known are known, relative to my rule and my scope of power within society. For now it is 'I am fully aware that I am just one man and that my power is granted by the people I serve by the rule of the many, let all men know this and let all men see that we are of one heart and mind'.
