I think that society should introduce 7 fundamental rules, which would be above the law. No law may overwrite those rules, change them or be against them:

  1. One should act with compassion and empathy
  2. One's own sense of justice must be put above the law
  3. Bodily freedom is supreme
  4. Freedoms of others, including freedom to offend, must be respected. One who violates the freedom of others gives up their freedom
  5. Unscientific beliefs are not allowed
  6. All who commit wrongdoing must rectify it.
  7. Above rules are interpreted according to common sense

Another thing I want to introduce, which is not a formal law, is optional taxation. People may choose not to pay taxes, but they would need to pay for public services.

There is a guy that wrote like 7 books about the 3 absolute law any robot must obey.

I don't even imagine the number of paradox and contradiction your 7 law could generate😅. This would create great stories.

    Up to a certain point. You'll face the trolley problem sooner or later.

    But it's an interesting social problem. Can we define a set of absolute consistent rule a society must follow ? Pretty sure Gödel incompletude theorem would enter the room at some point.
