They need to be people who have a comprehensive view of the universe - a religion, or an ideology that functions like a religion - that stands behind those rules.

of reasoning and speculating. It is the individual's
effort to humanize himself by partaking in the tradition
of all the best that earlier generations have
bequeathed. — Ludwig Von Mises
