Some people are thought to be wise because they don’t talk much; others are disliked because they talk too much. Some people keep quiet because they don’t have anything to say; others keep quiet because they know the right time to speak. A wise person will not speak until the right moment, but a bragging fool doesn’t know when that time is.
[ἔστιν σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός,
καὶ ἔστιν μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς.
ἔστιν σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν,
καὶ ἔστιν σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν.
ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ,
ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν.]The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 20: 5ff (Sir 20:5–7) [tr. GNT (1992 ed.)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bible-ot/84525/

Dear Friends of the hapless, 🦞
This morning I have already terrified a cat, 😮 rescued two large #snails for later consumption. :ablobcatgoogly: Not by me, incidentally. Put my garbage out. Saved the world. ...wait go back... :gi:
I did not save every multiverse world. Only mine. 😮
In #factoid, the world takes care of itself, it is the #tweaking, tweeting and #gibbering/#chattering classes that think it is their task. How many of them know what they are doing? I don't. And at least 99.9% (verified by Domestos) of the world's viral people have no idea either. You knew that? Along with 99.99% of the #whirled... :ablobcatbongokeyboard: -
Here's a video I didn't get to back when I produced the core concept series on Søren Kierkegaard's The Present Age. This one has to do with "chattering", which is likely even more a problem in our time than it was in his

It should be obvious to nobody that our #NGO and #chattering classes are morale bankrupt.

Anyone pushing #mainstreaming is the problem, not the solution they talk about.
