Sounds like religion.
I know. Historically I think the only examples of societal guiding principles that have really functioned for more than a decade have been religions.
But of course, religions come with all sorts of nasty baggage that hobbles societal development, frequently including anti-science behavior. Religion isn't the answer, it causes too many other problems.
