There is going to be an atomic war. All of humanity is going to be wiped out. The only survivors will be a group of 1,000 babies that will be raised by robots and given only knowledge of the English language, basic survival skills, and a firm belief in a vague monotheism.
On their 13th birthday, they will be brought above ground, and their first sight will be a giant stone tablet on which will be inscribed ten statements of some reasonable number of words apiece (something like ten, lets say). These statements will be said to be the absolute word of God. You are entrusted with writing these statements.
What do you put on them in an effort to create/preserve/restore the best society possible?
I. These laws never expire.
II. Debts and all other laws expire within 7 years.
III. Patents, copyrights, and leadership roles all expire within 7 years.
IV. War may be waged only with weapons powered by hand.
V. Adults may ingest, copulate, and cohabitate as they see fit.
VI. The best paid teachers and scientists must have equal pay.
VII. No salary may exceed that of the best paid teachers.
VIII. You may each worship God, or not, as you see fit.
IX.Anyone attempting to overrule these laws must die painfully.
X. The maximum penalty for other offenses: 7 years humane imprisonment.
