  1. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: Nor am I asham’d, as some others are, to confess I do not know, what I do not.
     
    [Nec me pudet ut istos fateri nescire quod nesciam.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 25 (1.25) / sec. 60 (1.60) (45 BC) [tr. Wase (1643)]

  3. Ukraine update from Giorgio Provincialli:

    Witness Russian corruption within Ukraine's anti-corruption institution.

    Irony abounds.

    Recognize what happened in the USA.

    Bureaucratic abuse reaches farther and destabilizes more than military power can manage.

    Prey on the weakness of the people, amplify their fears and grievances, create chaos and disharmony. These are the methods of Russia's psyops and info-wars.

  5. The Register: Dutch cops’ shame game works wonders as most wanted scammers now turned in . “Netherlands police’s scheme to unmask and shame scammers into submission is proving highly successful, with 74 of its 100 most wanted now known to investigators. The country’s ‘Game Over?!’ campaign involved releasing the blurred images of fraudsters into the public domain and threatening to unmask […]

  6. 1/ Ich mach jetzt mal was, was man nicht machen soll: #PublicShaming.

    Ich sollte eigentlich laufen gehen, aber ich bin zu faul und außerdem will ich noch dieses Gutachten fertig machen und dieses Paper lesen, damit ich dann dieses andere Paper fertig schreiben kann.

    Dabei wäre ich wahrscheinlich nach dem Laufen viel produktiver. #ShameOnMe

    Ihr könnt jetzt das Video von #HerbstInPeking mit dem Titel #Shame gucken:

    Ihr könnt aber auch rausgehen und laufen. Das Video ist 16 Minuten lang. Da seid Ihr schon dreimal um den Block gelaufen.

    #ShameOnYou

    Ich gehe morgen laufen. Versprochen!

  7. I'm pissed off and disappointed.

    I just received a #telemarketing phone call on behalf of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, #soliciting #donations.

    It sounded pretty human-ish -- I believe it was using actual recorded sentences of a human being - but they were edited/glued-together in a slightly unnatural way. I believe it was an #IVR system.

    So in the middle of one of its speeches, I interrupted with "You're actually a #recorded announcement, aren't you?"

    And it replied with some meaningless interjection followed by "No, I'm a real live #agent". And it wasn't. It definitely wasn't. I tested it further and it immediately failed, giving nonsensical replies and then suddenly switching to a "thank you for completing..." (which I hadn't) announcement and disconnecting.

    Legitimate #charities shouldn't be employing telemarketing #robots which lie and claim to be #humans. Full stop.

    #Shame on the CNIB.

  8. In our quest to end #bullying of the weak, we might have forgotten something.

    It's absolute crucial that there's as little bullying as possible. But #ridicule and #shame is also the one thing that works against batshit crazy dominator #narcissists, and even on some variations #psychopathic people.

    I think in the old times people did see this aspect of bullying as well. We might have forgotten it.

    How do we square these two aspects without hurting those that won't grow up to be nazis? 🤔

  10. A quotation from Molière

    ELMIRE: However high the passion which inflames us,
       Still, to confess its power somehow shames us.
     
    [Quelque raison qu’on trouve à l’amour qui nous dompte,
    On trouve à l’avouer toujours un peu de honte.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 4, sc. 5 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]

  11. @kevinrothrock

    If, someday, #USAnians look around and wonder what happened to their national status and prestige in the world, they will have an unusually clear transition point to look at.

    Today will be looked back on as the day the rest of the world stopped even pretending to believe Americans' "we are the shining city on the hill, an example to the world" credo had the slightest bit of truth left to it.

    Embarrassing. Shameful.
