Stages of changing values as a culture declines

1. PROMOTE what is noble, healthy, wise, and furthers life; this is the will of the gods.

2. PREVENT what is ignoble, unhealthy, ignorant, and degenerate so that it does not cause harm.

3. DESTROY what is ignoble, unhealthy, ignorant, and degenerate if it appears despite preparations to prevent it or because of systemic cultural decline that allows it.

4. ISOLATE what is ignoble, unhealthy, ignorant, and degenerate so that it becomes the problem of the localized community that allowed it to come into existence, while taxing their resources.

5. TOLERATE what is ignoble, unhealthy, ignorant, and degenerate and decline thereby.
