  1. A quotation from Hyman Rickover

    A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer range consequences.

    Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
    Speech (1982-01-28), Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, 97th Congress, 2nd Session

  5. CW: Systems with winner and loser = Bad

    Systems with winner and loser = Bad*

    Systems with a few winners and many losers = Bad*

    Systems with 1 winner and the rest nothing = Bad*

    Systems asking users to gamble (pay to play over and over again) more than anything educational / sharing = Bad

    ...this includes money itself as it's a gamble game itself...

    * Bad = needs changing
