  6. A quotation from Norman F. Dixon

    The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.

    Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
    On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

  7. A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

    Alas, one cannot assert authority by accepting one’s own fallibility. Simply, people need to be blinded by knowledge — we are made to follow leaders who can gather people together because the advantages of being in groups trump the disadvantages of being alone. It has been more profitable for us to bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one. Those who have followed the assertive idiot rather than the introspective wise person have passed us some of their genes. This is apparent from a social pathology: psychopaths rally followers.

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
    The Black Swan, Part 2, ch. 12 “Epistemocracy, a Dream” (2007)

  8. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Never regard something as doing you good if it makes you betray a trust, or lose your sense of shame, or makes you show hatred, suspicion, ill will, or hypocrisy, or a desire for things best done behind closed doors.
     
    [Μὴ τιμήσῃς ποτὲ ὡς συμφέρον σεαυτοῦ, ὃ ἀναγκάσει σέ ποτε τὴν πίστιν παραβῆναι, τὴν αἰδῶ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν, μισῆσαί τινα, ὑποπτεῦσαι, καταράσασθαι, ὑποκρίνασθαι, ἐπιθυμῆσαί τινος τοίχων καὶ παραπετασμάτων δεομένου.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 3, ch. 7 (3.7) [tr. Hays (2003)]

  11. Introducing the #SenateLaunchSystem

    "the system allowed the #aerospace #industry -- who was getting billions of dollars 💰 to build [the #SLS] -- to tell Congress they could do it by that time," #Garver said, explaining that the industry knew it'd be paid the same amount 💰 every year, #regardless of delays. "There was a #reverse incentive."

    #NASA Inspector General Paul Martin : "We saw that the cost-plus contracts that NASA had been using to develop that combined #SLS and #Orion system work to the contractors' rather than NASA's #advantage." cnet.com/science/space/billion
