“The Ten Humanitarian Commandments
1. First you are human, then everything else.
2. No one is the authority of your life, but you.
3. Impose nobody on nobody.
4. Don't be rigid about anybody's ideas - expand on them.
5. Take a thinker as a mental companion if you need, but not the only companion.
6. Always have some healthy respect for fiction, and never glorify facts at the expense of humanity.
7. Booze, smoke and others, try all for experience if you desire, so long as they don't end up owning you.
8. Learn from everything and everyone, but pledge allegiance to no one.
9. No weapons, period - except in intensely exceptional circumstances like the Ukraine invasion.
10. Love is the supreme religion, love is the supreme law, love is the supreme science.”

“When somebody uses nuclear weapon to cause destruction, it's the fault of the individual. But, when an individual uses scripture as justification for their atrocities, it's the fault of an entire community. How come!
I am not condoning religious violence, any more than I am condoning “scientific violence”, such as, nuclear proliferation, big pharma exploitation, big tech recklessness, and so on. All I am asking is that, sensible people see sense, putting aside their prejudicial inclinations for a second.
We all know about the atrocities committed by organized religion. But if we are not cautious, we will end up doing the same with science, deluded by our grandeur of intellect, and pomposity of technology.”

“Scriptures would've done much more good to the world if their advocates didn't insist on them having a supernatural origin, as opposed to a natural one.”

“We may lament the near collapse of liberal arts education or we may suspect that its demise is the consequence of the cloistered humanism that produced it.”
“I am neither a believer, nor an atheist. Believers care about the existence of God, atheists care about the nonexistence of God. I care about neither. I only care about human existence. I only care about the uplift of human condition.”
