  5. I bit my tongue as long as I could but there came a point I had to blurt out "we can delegate tasks but not responsibility". 😒

  6. #Japan lifts curbs on #weapons #exports, but strict #safeguards are essential
    "If te #defenseindustry is treated as an engine of economic growth, it becomes too easy to fall into a profit-first mindset.. At its core, arms exports mean 🇯🇵becoming involved, even indirectly, in other countries' #conflicts.
    To determine whether tt truly contributes to 🇯🇵's security, #government must fulfill its #responsibility to explain decisions to te public on a concrete, case-by-case basis"

  12. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 26 (1951)

  13. A quotation from Steven Levitt

    No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

    Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
    Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]

  17. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term “power politics,” must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
    Message (1945-01-06) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union)

  22. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 1, ch. 1 “Antisemitism as an Outrage to Common Sense” (1951)
