  9. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: “Take a job that will give you security, not adventure.” But I say to the young: “Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, and imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.”

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Essay (1961-04), “What Has Happened to the American Dream?” Atlantic Monthly

  10. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rules on composition: it produces vigilance rather than elevation, rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often escapes miscarriages but seldom reaches either power or honor. It quenches that ardor of enterprise by which every thing is done that can claim praise or admiration; and represses that generous temerity which often fails and often succeeds. Rules may obviate faults, but can never confer beauties; and prudence keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1759-05-19), The Idler, No. 57

    OK, it's not as good a lookout as I was expecting - you can look over the roofs on the slope below. But I guess it's good to know it's there!

  22. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Neither acquiescence in skepticism nor acquiescence in dogma is what education should produce. What it should produce is a belief that knowledge is attainable in a measure, though with difficulty; that much of what passes for knowledge at any given time is likely to be more or less mistaken, but that the mistakes can be rectified by care and industry. In acting upon our beliefs, we should be very cautious where a small error would mean disaster; nevertheless it is upon our beliefs that we must act. This state of mind is rather difficult: it requires a high degree of intellectual culture without emotional atrophy. But though difficult it is not impossible; it is in fact the scientific temper. Knowledge, like other good things, is difficult, but not impossible; the dogmatist forgets the difficulty, the skeptic denies the possibility. Both are mistaken, and their errors, when wide-spread, produce social disaster.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

  23. A quotation from Horace

    Dear sire, and offspring worthy of your fire!
    We bards are dupes to what ourselves admire.
    Would I be brief — I grow confused and coarse;
    Who aims at smoothness, fails in fire and force;
    In him who soars aloft, bombast is found;
    Who fears to face the tempest, crawls aground.
    Who courts variety and fain would ring
    A thousand changes on the self-same string,
    Will paint, as ’twere in fancy’s wildest mood
    Boars in the wave and dolphins in the wood.
    Thus even error, shun’d without address,
    Breeds error, diff’rent in its kind, not less.
     
    [Maxima pars vatum, pater et iuvenes patre digni,
    decipimur specie recti: brevis esse laboro,
    obscurus fio; sectantem levia nervi
    deficiunt animique; professus grandia turget;
    serpit humi tutus nimium timidusque procellae:
    qui variare cupit rem prodigialiter unam,
    delphinum silvis adpingit, fluctibus aprum:
    in vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 24ff (2.3.24-31) (19 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

  27. Got this from someone I trust. (See image/ALT text.) It’s a warning about accepting face masks from strangers, who may have drugged the mask in order to knock you unconscious so they can rob you.

    Question: Is this real information or false disinformation?

    🤷‍♂️ I don’t know.

    In any case, caution is advised.

    Best to purchase your own masks from a trusted source. In my area, HomeDepot and other hardware stores and pharmacys sell N95s, etc.

  32. "Better a known rival than an unpredictable friend." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    There's a lot of talk online about what happens when partnerships become unstable.

    When one side of a partnership slides over the abyss of rationality, into a mindset of madness.

    When what was once reliable becomes volatile, when the predictable becomes uncertain, and the rational, irrational.

    And the lesson is that you have to pick your partners carefully.

    Strategically.

    Wisely.

    With caution.

    With due diligence.

    With both eyes wide open and elbows up.

    You'll never move forward if you keep trying to rely on a relationship that has become untenable.

    Partnership involves predictable, rational action.

    And when that disappears, so should the reliance on the partnership - because it becomes time to form new ones.

    Those partnerships might involve choices that, in an old world, might not have made sense but, in a new world, demand attention.

    That's simply reality!

    ----

    Futurist Jim Carroll often speaks about the importance of organizations to develop the capability for 'fast partnerships.' He realizes it now applies to nations, too.

  35. #H5N1 #mutation {E627K in PB2} detected in #US dairy #herds prompts #caution on #pandemic potential, chinadaily.com.cn/a/202503/13/

    SACRAMENTO, the #USA -- Scientists are sounding the alarm about a concerning genetic mutation of the #H5N1 bird flu virus, recently identified in four dairy cow herds, as this mutation could increase the risk of mammal-to-mammal transmission and disease severity.

  36. #Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 16/

    In his capacity as general, Pericles was famous above all things for his saving caution; he neither undertook of his own accord a battle involving much uncertainty or peril, nor did he envy and imitate those who took great risks, enjoyed brilliant good-fortune, and so were admired as great generals; and he was for ever saying to his fellow-citizens that, so far as lay in his power, they would remain alive forever and be immortals.
