Ten Commandments for Sciences (Material, Social & Spiritual) and Rationalism.

Inspired by the lives and works of rationalists and thinkers such as Socrates, Bertrand Russell, Aryabhata, Thiruvalluvar, Basavanna, John Dewey, B.R. Ambedkar, and others, these commandments guide the pursuit of truth across material, social, and spiritual sciences through reason and rationalism:

1. Interrogate All Claims with Rigor
   Emulate Socrates’ relentless questioning to scrutinize material, social, and spiritual assertions, seeking truth through reason rather than assumption.
2. Ground Knowledge in Empirical Evidence
   Like Aryabhata’s astronomical observations, anchor material science in data, social science in observable patterns, and spiritual inquiry in reflective experience.
3. Embrace Uncertainty with Openness
   As Bertrand Russell advocated, accept the limits of knowledge in all sciences, remaining humble and adaptable to new evidence or perspectives.
4. Reason Logically Across Domains
   Follow Thiruvalluvar’s clarity of thought, applying precise logic to material experiments, social theories, and spiritual philosophies alike.
5. Prioritize Ethical Impact
   Inspired by Basavanna’s moral vision, ensure scientific pursuits—whether material, social, or spiritual—promote justice, compassion, and human dignity.
6. Test Ideas Through Practical Application
   Adopt John Dewey’s pragmatism: validate material innovations, social policies, and spiritual practices by their real-world outcomes and benefits.
7. Foster Inclusive Inquiry
   Reflecting Ambedkar’s fight for equality, democratize access to scientific and rational discourse, ensuring diverse voices shape material, social, and spiritual knowledge.
8. Synthesize Interdisciplinary Insights
   Integrate material, social, and spiritual sciences, as ancient thinkers did, to create holistic understanding and avoid fragmented or dogmatic conclusions.
9. Speak Truth Boldly Yet Compassionately
   Channel Socrates’ courage to challenge falsehoods in all realms, communicating findings with clarity and empathy to advance collective wisdom.
10. Pursue Liberation Through Knowledge
    Use material science to solve practical problems, social science to dismantle oppression, and spiritual science to free minds, as Ambedkar and Russell envisioned, for a just and enlightened world.
