1. Self-Direction		- or you will be a slave, a borg droid.
2. Open Society			- or it all becomes an excercise of futility.
3. Rational Thinking		- or you have religion, not science.
4. Practical Optimism		- or you will never find it worth while.
5. Self-Transformation		- or you will stagnate, become reactionary.
6. Intelligent Technology	- the way to do it
7. Perpetual Progress		- the thing to do

Without those above those below becomes meaningless to a free individual.
(I prefer to be a free man in a low-tech society to a slave in a high-tech.)
