A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate, might be set forth as follows:

  1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
  2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
  3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
  4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavour to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
  5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
  6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
  7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
  8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
  9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
  10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
“The Best Answer to Fanaticism: Liberalism,” New York Times Magazine (1951-12-16)

"... and so now it's over, the, the, ~
and that's really frightening.

It means there's no~

Power is in no way accountable.
There's no transparency.
And we know, history has taught us when that kind of secrecy imposed on autocratic power, it just, it, it~
abuse grows upon abuse grows upon abuse.
And that is why they're just determined to crucify Julian.
That's the crisis that we're in.
We've lost the ability
to know
what power is doing."

Gotta hand it to this one…
Although she is in general “a racist ass” and #GQP clown, she’s right here. (Like a clock? Twice a day, maybe) #Coulter

Ann Coulter: ‘Every Republican should commit suicide in solidarity with Trump’

Ann Coulter

These scary/head-in-the-sand #TrumpVirus cultists are saying “we must support him or desist”. Seems more like a case of making a point of supporting “the Devil” incarnate, OR becoming “woke” from the cult indoctrination of “alternative facts” and seeing, eyes-open, just how evil/criminal their false idol is.

[2023-04- 5 16:49:30] <@Digit> i see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNH0whizEtw has been re-uploaded. ... hopefully without the sound completely de-syncing between both halves of the conversation, like the prior upload's painful comedic fail.

A quotation from Malcolm X

You’re not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.

Malcolm X (1925-1965) American revolutionary, religious leader [b. Malcolm Little]
“Prospects for Freedom in 1965,” speech, New York (7 Jan 1965)

Fascinating (not "fun") read from #FionaHill.
Remember her? A clarion voice of #truth, #integrity, #patriotism, and #intelligence, re: #Russia / #Putin

‘Yes, He Would’: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes

Putin is trying to take down the entire world order, the veteran Russia watcher said in an interview. But there are ways even ordinary Americans can fight back.

Don't Compromise Your Integrity

This is another way of saying, “Maintain your boundaries, and don’t let others bulldoze over them.”

Many years ago, I had to alter my life and this included setting up and maintaining some boundaries. I wasn’t doing this to be difficult, I was having health issues that required I take better care of myself.

My doctor instructed me to talk with my family and friends to let them know that there would be days I felt pretty good and days when I wasn’t doing well. And it was on those not so good days I would have to say, “No,” more often.

I sat down with my friend at the time and updated her. Her response? “That’s fine, as long as you never tell me...Read More
