A quotation from Hyman Rickover
Somehow, things just didn’t work out the way the books on administration and on leadership said they should, and I early became aware that I could never qualify as a leader, if it were really necessary that I possess the twenty or so qualities most books or articles on leadership claimed to be necessary. So far, I have found no one in the Navy or in industry who possesses more than a few of these qualities, and so I have regretfully come to the conclusion that the only person who ever possessed all of them died some 1900 years ago.
Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral

A quotation from Joseph Addison
Temperance and abstinence, faith and devotion, are in themselves perhaps as laudable as any other virtues; but those which make a man popular and beloved are justice, charity, munificence, and, in short, all the good qualities which render us beneficial to each other.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman

#Anthropic researchers studied how #AI systems’ #personalities change and what makes them #evil. They found that #data influences an AI model’s #qualities, and by identifying which parts of the #neuralnetwork correspond to specific traits, they could predict and control these impulses: flagging problematic data and injecting undesirable traits. https://www.theverge.com/anthropic/717551/anthropic-research-fellows-ai-personality-claude-sycophantic-evil?eicker.news #tech #media #news

« Every person, if he so wills, can become a paradigmatic human being, not by brushing of his accidental qualities, but by remaining in them and ennobling them. He ennobles them by choosing them. »

Dear Friends of #Magick and #Buddhism :ablobcatcoffee:
As we may know about the idea of #magical Buddhism, or magic in Buddhism. We can happily move along if not our cup of tea ... :ablobcatlurk:
A lot of people don't like this idea that there are magical concepts, ideas, very strange ways of dealing with things within Buddhism, but of course there are. These things have grown up over the years.
Some people will prefer the very #linear processes within Buddhism, we sit, meditate, do the practices and eventually gain peace and wisdom and insight and enlightenment.
People like that, that's a progressive path, but there is also a sort of random, chaotic element and that's what we'll discuss a little here. In #Vajrayana, some people are still using this term #Tibetan #Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is just Tantric Buddhism, it's very much based and dependent upon the system that was developed in Hinduism and a lot of the ideas are still there within Tantra. And so Tantra is very much a magical system, a system where the visualisation and the idea that the teacher is a #Buddha and therefore is a #personification of #perfection is very important and if that teacher is indeed an able personification of #qualities that people need, then it's very #helpful.
Unfortunately, a lot of Western Tantrists have just taken this idea and manipulated it for their own preferences.
Some has come from people who saw the way Westerners were and thought, oh, we can make use of this, we can get engaged with this. In #samsara, using samsara as a base to create the kind of chaotic magical system that some Tantrists do. That's fair enough, that's a way of approaching things, that's a way of doing things. Not always helpful
So the idea of the Daka and Dakini, which is the magical, the wisdom practitioners, at a high enough level, they are in fact using chaos or chaos magic. And chaos magic is very unpredictable. Just like there's an approach in Zen where the Zen teachers are very, almost incomprehensible or very traumatic in their response or very dramatic in their response. But this is within the confines of a strict system. And again, some people have abused that power and that authority because it's a centralised authority.
And this is different to the way a lot of us prefer to work, which is with our own wisdom base and our own understanding. And we have to take responsibility for that. So even though we may be using some of the tactics and techniques, if we use them in an unhelpful way, in a way that is based on our lesser capacities and our more mixed up feelings and thoughts and ideas, then we can do a lot more harm than good.
So doing good is one of the primary understandings, or creating #sukha as opposed to #dukkha, creating good, happiness, peace, wisdom, compassion, all the things that actually unravel people. This is the point of utilising Buddhism in its highest aspect. And if you can do that with whatever it is, including, as I say, the magical aspects of Tantra, or whatever religion, or whatever thing that you wish to, whether it's psychology, whether it's using computers, whatever is the thing that interests you, grabs you, and makes some use of your #potential initially, because you have to create something for yourself initially.
And then from there you can move on to improving those around you, #family, #friends, and perhaps eventually the wider #community. 🦞 -

Dear Friends of #Shrines, #altars and #Magick,
My latest podcat, just over 5 minutes …
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/shrineOne of the things I did not cover … oops … is a #secular or #Atheist ‘shrine’. For example with images of #Jung, favoured #scientists such as the inventor of #apples and #light splitters Sire Isaac Newton.
That sort of thing. Maybe some numbers or favoured #algorithms etc.This is what the AI says about it
“The process of setting up a shrine or altar. Explain the #simplest form of a shrine is based on personal comfort and #tradition. They give #examples of setting up a shrine to #deities in Hinduism and #Pagan traditions. The speaker mentions using #water, #incense, #flowers, and images of the deity on the shrine. They mention different ways of doing #rituals, depending on the individual’s beliefs. The speaker also explains that over time, more things can become a shrine, such as the #kitchen or specific #areas with #reminders of #practices or people. They mention using #virtual shrines on #computers and finding #patterns or #resonance with the deity or #qualities everywhere. The speaker emphasizes that everything can become a shrine and that the process #evolves over time.” -

[3] the reason for him, for rejecting the son of a #royal_family from entering the #MIT_university was because that [royal] person did not meet the #qualifications or the #qualities required by MIT.
(So if you see a person of #royalty in your country studying in #MIT or other #highly #appraised and #accredited #academy, put a thousand check marks above his head, just as you would put them on a normal person).
He was that faithful, (and he is now doing his own projects from what I last heard).

@xj9
makes a curious reading.realised that for me, on the "left", binaries gain no traction - hence stuff like reform/revolt is puff.
then
realised the #values question seems to shut
#qualities - which is when #left imho
begins to have an interest.
