Mankind has prospered for the past ~ 10,000 years as we have learned to get along in ever larger groups.
During that time we have experimented and discarded many ways of life and adopted what works best.
As hunter-gatherers we shared information in the best tools and strategies worked best, what plants, food preparation, community protection, and thousands of actions and practices worked best, and carefully shared the best new way of doing things with our children.
As we advanced into herdsmen and farmers, that information was passed on to our children, and their lives became easier.
During those thousands of years we proved the best outcome resulted from one man and one wife, children raised with the best known new ways of solving problems and preparing things to better our lives and the lives of those around us, AND sharing all knowledge with our neighbors.
Rules were formed for the good of all:
There has been serious problems. Families and Guilds have hidden information to keep only for the guild or family. Often valuable information has been lost.
Even worse, philosophers have imagined they know better ways of living and spread their wild ideas as if they are proven truths. After thousands of expensive loss of life failures, new devotees rise up to proclaim "Come follow me, I am the only one that knows the best path. This time we will do it right!" Leading more to doom.
Always the promise of "UTOPIA" leads to all wealth belonging only to the leaders until all falls into ruin.

Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not kill.
When a mistake is made, make restitution.
