I value not being a dick, and not only nobody finding out that I'm a dick.

Could you taboo the word "dick".

Incidentally, this sounds like an argument based on virtue ethics.

By a dick I mean the kind of person who does thing I disapprove of - cutting in line, abusing free resources, defecting in prisoner's dilemma-type situations, etc. I may not have a perfect reductionist-grade definition, but I have a mental concept I don't want to be associated to (and I suppose the same goes for most neurotypical humans).
