I would like to experiment, and write down a clear and practical guide for good behavior. Moral behavior, both positively (generally necessary habits) and negatively (prohibited behavior). A guide that can, periodically, stand as a reference for the moral standards that humanity's best minds have discovered.
Eventually, I plan on giving it a page of its own. For now, here is the index and subtitles, with a little description, for your review.

| They had their morality, and we have ours. |
Subtitle: To reflect the wisdom of our age, through clear and reasoned guidance.
1. Morality
1.1 The Non-Aggression Principle
A single core principle that can explain the larger part of our existing and accepted moral rules, such as not to steal or murder.1.1.1 Only self-defense justifies force.
1.1.2 Judging self-defense situations.
1.2 The Ideology of AnarchyThis principle is well argued, and exemplified throughout historical and modern times. Our greatest achievements, such as the abolition of slavery, follow hand-in-hand with it.
A complimenting ideology that solves the remaining issues in society, where-in coercion is not necessarily applied, by denying the morality of dominating or abusive relationships.1.2.1 Authority is always personal.
1.2.2 Responsibility versus Ownership - plan rather than blame.
1.2.3 Partnership versus Service - never obey.
1.3 The Pursuit of WisdomTo both explain and solve the error of social hierarchy, the ideology first shows the logic it holds, and then goes to give clear examples of its use.
A moral code that is unchanging, and based on history rather than contemporary evidence, leads to immorality. Moral understanding must always evolve and be fine-tuned, so that it reflects the knowledge and experience of its users.1.3.1 Why & How to Find Challenges.
2. PracticesAn improved morality is the result of facing challenges, and coming out of them the better and wiser. The more varied, unexpected, unknown, and dire the challenge or choice, the better.
2.1 Exercise
A sickly body is unable to concentrate and reason, to a normal extent. Morality, first and foremost, requires taking care of the self.2.1.1 Cardio, strength, and flexibility.
2.2 Self Defense & ArmsA regularly active person that has full mobility in both resistance and reach, will always feel comfortable in their own body.
Justice is the ability to act on your morality. It is not enough to understand right from wrong, if it is not possible to protect what is right, and fend off what is wrong.2.2.1 Strategy, Tactics, Evasion - Also see chapter 2.3.4.
2.2.2 Contact fighting.
2.2.3 Short range weapons, long range weapons, and projectiles.
2.3 DiscussionThrough analyzing situations, planning ahead, and enjoying advanced equipment, anyone can defend themselves efficiently.
Open debate and freedom of speech are tenants of the modern age. Without those, progress is slowed, and conflict increases.2.3.1 Personal needs.
2.3.2 Community needs.
2.3.3 Planning for goals.
2.3.4 Political negotiations - the social-economical front.
3. CommunityDiscussions are intentionally organised, so that debate does not turn into harmful gossip. When people's thoughts are acknowledged, it is important to plan on how to address them. Finally, it is also important to acknowledge and address outside issues.
3.1 Events
3.1.1 Organizing people for coordinated action.
3.2 GatheringsPre-defined events give people access into initiatives that would otherwise be private. This way anyone can contribute to others, without the normally necessary personal connection.
3.2.1 Bonding different communities.
3.3 SupportIt is impossible to make a disconnection between communities. Even if the distance may be far and wide, there will always be both positive and negative influences. It is important to seek the positive.
3.3.1 From public shelters to friend circles.
Planning and effort are limited, and that is why we have backups. Public spaces help, when a home is lost. Reliable friend circles, where responsibility is shared voluntarily, help when personal ability is diminished through injury or disease.
