This equates intellectual integrity with agnosticism, which is
encoded in the Virian sin of Dogmatism. Good quote.
I was thinking that we should expand and elaborate the Sins and
Virtues in a format similar to the exposition in the 48 Laws of Power.
Each law has described in several sections, a judgment (brief
description), then a transgression and observance taken from
historical events with interpretations.

Does anyone have the book handy? What are the other sections?
