Yeah, no Janteloven is absolutely toxic and should not stand as an example of anything. It was written as a commentary on social control and backwardsness in Denmark in the early 20th century. The commandments are as follows (with my own translation of meaning, not words):

“Du skal ikke tro, du er noget.”

• Don’t you believe in yourself

“Du skal ikke tro, at du er lige så meget som os.”

• Don’t you believe you are as good as us

“Du skal ikke tro, at du er klogere end os.”

• Don’t you believe you are as smart as us

“Du skal ikke bilde dig ind, at du er bedre end os.”

• Don’t you tell yourself you’re better than us

“Du skal ikke tro, at du ved mere end os.”

• Don’t you believe you know more than us

“Du skal ikke tro, at du er mere end os.”

• Don’t you believe you are more than us

“Du skal ikke tro, at du dur til noget.”

• Don’t you believe you are good at anything

“Du skal ikke le ad os.”

• Don’t you laugh at us

“Du skal ikke tro, at nogen bryder sig om dig.”

• Don’t you think anyone likes you

“Du skal ikke tro, at du kan lære os noget.”

• Don’t you believe you can teach us anything

It is something about all the files being wildebeests, right ?

Wait. Are you saying you can choose not to rawdog your os ?
