First Commandment: Put all your heart into your role in the economy. Spare nothing for family life, hobbies, social life, volunteering, philanthropy, etc. The amount of money you make measures your virtue. What you do with the money is completely irrelevant. However, money is just a tool or vehicle. It won't replace you as the driver, but it will measure all dimensions of your worth as a human being.
Second Commandment: You shall oppose any government attempt to go beyond its proper functions: using violence, making threats, and figuring out the appropriate threats or violence in a given situation. Threats and violence are the only way that governments can prevent, halt, or deter violations of your rights. One of your rights is the right to maliciously torture dogs, cats, and chimpanzees just for the fun of it, provided that you bought the animals. The reason animals have no rights whatsoever is that animals don't understand the rational language of threats. Animals only understand violence.
Third Commandment: Be a creator. The creator builds tools. The parasite decides what the tools will be used for. Von Braun created the V2 rocket for the Nazis. Maybe you can be like Von Braun. The only other choice is to become a Nazi.
