Thich Nhat Hahn se foi ontem aos 95 anos. Grande mestre budista, humano, coração grande e cabeça aberta. Vou colar aqui uma tradução dos 14 preceitos que ele escreveu, numa tradução de Miguel Berredo, pela revista Bodisatva. Uma thread, um fio.
@luke_hauskins@lsanger@henryjkwallis@TimothyNerozzi Optimism, I think, since it was assumed open editing would enable balance and neutrality via truth seeking editors. Now, every corner of the sane earth should deal with red green alliance bully mentality.

I am the way and the truthand the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Stop throwing away compliments!
We unconsciously do this because we want to seem humble, but compliments are a gift - so take it into your heart and just say thank you.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
This combination of a robotic arm and a display really hits the spot for me. For those of you who spend long hours sitting at a computer desk, do you feel the same way as I do?
@WTSmith17 Dangerous, super dangerous. Master of disguise. He knows exactly what to say: it's the logic of the oppressed; just say what makes me feel you are my hero, just go straight to what I want, that is to have my suffering removed. I don't care how, just say it.

Naval: America is the last bastion for freedom. If the US were to collapse, freedom bleeds out from the rest of the world.
You can already see what's happening in Australia and UK with the speech laws and the censorship and all that, and the weird arrests, and so on.
But if the US degenerates and falls, it doesn't fail like Europe did, it doesn't become like a big retirement home in a museum, where everyone's on good social welfare for a while. It fails like a Latin American country fails, because it is bordered by Latin America.
You're looking at much more like cartel, and drugs, and crime, and violence, and those kinds of institutions.
@ryancarson It's so clear. Systems are hard. Even a single html file for a kids game is hard to optimize and turn it into likeable, useful and maybe profitable.

Pure gold.
