CONFIDENTIAL ETHICS REPORT
DRC, Internal Affairs Division, Ethics & Compliance Command
To: Operations Oversight Committee
From: Chief Operating Officer [REDACTED], Ethics Compliance Officer
Date: [REDACTED]
Subject: Comprehensive Review of the Ethics Training Program
Executive Summary
This report reviews the current Ethics Training Program (ETP) across all operational paternity compounds. The program, originally designed to instill a sense of moral discipline, professional integrity, and emotional detachment, has encountered significant challenges in achieving its objectives. 
Despite mandatory completion rates of [REDACTED]%, on-the-ground observations indicate that ethical lapses remain persistent. This review aims to identify existing weaknesses in the training framework and propose enhancements to ensure staff uphold DRC values of compliance, efficiency, and emotional neutrality.

II. Inappropriate Surrogate Relations
Despite the introduction of the Male Paternity Regulation and Evaluation Guide (MPREG), security audits and surveillance reviews have uncovered multiple incidents in which staff have failed to maintain appropriate boundaries with surrogates. These violations undermine the core principles of surrogate management and jeopardize operational efficiency by fostering unhealthy emotional dependencies and encouraging surrogate non-compliance.
Documented Breaches:
Unauthorized Physical Contact
Multiple reports indicate staff members engaging in “excessive belly-rubbing” under the guise of "medical check-ups," with some employees spending prolonged periods tracing stretch marks and remarking on the “impressive elasticity” of surrogate skin.
In one instance, an employee was observed resting his forehead against a surrogate's abdomen, citing an attempt to "listen for movement patterns."
Security footage captured a handler providing “unsanctioned belly massages” of seven late-term surrogates (immobile due to the size of pregnancies), commenting on the "firmness" and "size" even when surrogates protested the contact.
Surrogate Statement
"I kept telling him it wasn't necessary, but he just kept running his hands over my belly, saying he was 'checking for ripeness.' It felt weird—like he wasn’t even listening to me. I couldn’t move much, and he took advantage of that." — Surrogate S138-908-M, 30 days gestation with tridecuplets (13)
Employee Statement
"Listen, the bigger they get, the more we need to monitor things up close. You can’t just eyeball this stuff—you must feel it and assess how the skin’s stretching. If I rest my head on their stomach, it’s just to check fetal movement. Some of these guys have so many in there, it’s hard to tell what’s going on otherwise." — Handler, Employee ID# HS-138-033
Excessive Engagement During Lactation Sessions
Instances have been documented where staff members linger beyond their allotted monitoring times during surrogate lactation cycles, citing the need to "ensure maximum output."
Reports detail employees offering unsolicited physical contact during surrogate pectoral care, including lotion applications that fall outside their scope of responsibilities.
One employee was reprimanded after being discovered providing “oral collection,” allegedly to "maximize output," despite explicit prohibitions against direct interference.
Surrogate Statement
"He was supposed to check the pumps, but he just stood there watching… way too long. Then he started helping me put lotion on without asking. I told him I could do it myself, but he kept saying it was 'part of the procedure.' It made me really uncomfortable, but what am I supposed to do? I can’t exactly get up and leave." — Surrogate S111-334-L, 28 days gestation with dodecuplets (12)
Employee Statement
"I was just making sure he was comfortable! These guys leak all day; you wouldn’t believe the state of their skin. If I stay a little longer to make sure the lotion is applied evenly, it’s because I care about their well-being." — Lactation Technician, Employee ID# HS-111-115
Compromising Language 
Audio logs indicate staff addressing surrogates using inappropriate language, such as: 
Overripe
Milk Machines
Fetus Factories
Human Brooders
Staff have been overheard offering unnecessary commentary during routine examinations, with remarks such as” 
A gut full of government property…
All belly, no brains…
His womb is bigger than his future…
That belly’s in its own zip code…
Push or pop, your choice…
I’ve seen parade floats smaller than him…
Surrogate Statement
"They act like we’re not even people. One called me a ‘baby factory’ right to my face. They joke about us like we’re nothing but our wombs and pecs. It’s humiliating. I hear them laughing, saying stuff like, ‘Another day, another pop and drops.’" — Surrogate S119-501-R, 23 days gestation with Octodecuplets (18)
Employee Statement
"It’s just harmless fun. You see the same thing every day. You gotta lighten the mood. Yeah, we joke around a bit—what’s the harm? We don’t mean anything by it. If calling them ‘overripe’ gets us to relax, then what’s the problem?" — Compound Attendant, Employee ID# HS-119-187
Misuse of Medical Equipment:
Several staffers were found to be conducting authorized medical check-ups, recording or imaging surrogates, raising concerns that these materials are being used for personal gratification or unauthorized sale.
Surrogate Statement
"I noticed one of the nurses recording me... at first I thought it was a medical checkup but then he followed me into the showers. They’re not checking for my health—they’re keeping it for themselves. It’s disturbing. I don’t know who’s looking at me." — Surrogate S127-672-N, 25 days gestation with Quattuordecuplets (14)
Employee Statement
"Look, sometimes you see something interesting, and you want to study it later. These guys carry huge loads, and it’s fascinating from a medical perspective. I may have saved a few pictures, but it’s strictly professional… mostly. If some of the guys take a peek after hours, well, that’s their business." — Medical Technician, Employee ID# HS-127-087
III. Rising Moral Hesitations
Data collected from exit interviews indicate an alarming decline in ethical standards across multiple paternity compounds, with widespread reports of staff failing to uphold professional boundaries in their interactions with surrogates. 
Despite the implementation of the Male Paternity Regulation and Evaluation Guide (MPREG), surrogates have expressed discomfort and frustration with these breaches, noting that staff often dismiss or minimize their concerns. Meanwhile, employees continue to rationalize their actions, citing the unique challenges of surrogate management as justification for their behavior. The increasing frequency of these incidents signals a systemic failure to enforce ethical training and disciplinary measures, necessitating immediate corrective action to restore professional integrity and safeguard surrogate welfare.
IV. Proposed Ethics Training Enhancements
To mitigate these issues and strengthen staff resilience against ethical drift, the following measures are proposed:
Mandatory Hands-Off Policy Enforcement with Physical Barriers
A revised "Look, Don't Touch" policy will be implemented to combat the persistent issue of unauthorized physical contact. Staff will also undergo regular "hand discipline" exercises, reinforcing professional restraint techniques.
Behavioral Detachment Conditioning Program
Employees will participate in an intensive desensitization curriculum to mitigate emotional attachments and unhealthy fixations. Daily affirmations such as “Submission, Not Compassion” and “Productivity Over Personal” will be recited to reinforce emotional neutrality.
Milking Procedure Automation Initiative
In response to the growing concern of excessive lactation engagement, compounds will explore the use of fully automated milking stations, eliminating the need for staff to intervene manually. Advanced monitoring tools will ensure accurate data collection without physical oversight. Employees lingering in lactation zones will face immediate reassignment to less surrogate-focused duties.
Conclusion
The proposed enhancements to the ETP, including stricter enforcement measures, behavioral conditioning, and technological interventions, aim to address these concerns through deterrence, accountability, and operational improvements.
By implementing a robust hands-off policy, reinforcing professional detachment through targeted training, and introducing automation to reduce unnecessary interaction, the DRC can work towards restoring ethical discipline within the workforce. Ultimately, the success of these measures will depend on leadership commitment, ongoing surveillance, and a willingness to adapt training strategies to the evolving challenges of surrogate management.

Subject: RE: Comprehensive Review of the Ethics Training Program
While I acknowledge the concerns outlined in your report regarding ethical lapses, I must emphasize that operational productivity remains our primary focus. The reality is that our quotas are being met—exceeded, in fact—and that should be our key metric of success, not a handful of staff engaging in what I can only describe as “overenthusiastic” surrogate monitoring.
The bottom line is this: as long as the babies are born on schedule and our quotas are satisfied, I see no pressing need to disrupt compound operations with redundant policy enforcement and additional training.
Frankly, the incidents described—while colorful—reflect the unique demands of our workforce. Staff working closely with surrogates day in and day out are bound to find creative ways to “stay engaged,” and quite honestly, if a little belly rubbing keeps morale high and output consistent, I see no reason to intervene. After all, we're running a high-pressure operation, not a monastery.
I trust that my position on this matter is clear.
Continue monitoring for any gross misconduct that may threaten productivity, but let’s not get bogged down policing every lingering glance or overzealous stretch mark examination.

Published: Jun 25, 2024
Republicans are very concerned about left-wing indoctrination in the public school system, and often for good reasons. Yet, it seems that some Republican leaders feel differently about ideological indoctrination in the classroom when they’re the ones doing it. 
In Louisiana, a recent law mandates the display of the Ten Commandments across all public educational institutions, from elementary schools to universities. The bill, championed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry, was signed into law at a private Catholic school. During the ceremony, Governor Landry declared, “If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses.”
This makes Louisiana the only state in the nation with such a mandate. Other red states haven’t ventured into this territory in recent years, perhaps because they know it’s blatantly unconstitutional. Nonetheless, Governor Landry appears undeterred, openly stating that “can’t wait to be sued.”
He may not have to wait very long.
A coalition of groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), has already announced its intention to file suit, condemning the mandate as “unconstitutional religious coercion of students, who are legally required to attend school and are thus a captive audience for school-spons.ored religious messages.” The ACLU also added that the mandate “send[s] a chilling message to students and families who do not follow the state’s preferred version of the Ten Commandments that they do not belong, and are not welcome, in our public schools.”
This is not uncharted territory. The ACLU cited the 1980 Supreme Court case Stone v. Graham, where the court explicitly ruled that the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause, which prohibits the establishment of a formal state religion, prevents public schools from displaying the Ten Commandments. 
“If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments,” the Supreme Court ruled in that case. “However desirable this might be as a matter of private devotion, it is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause.”
Governor Landry is surely aware of this precedent and simply does not care that this legislation will almost certainly be blocked in the courts. Nonetheless, it represents an opportunity for him to signal his cultural war bona fides—a move that, in any other context, Republicans might rightly describe as empty “virtue signaling.”
Regrettably, this isn’t just an isolated incident among Republicans in one conservative state. Louisiana’s initiative has garnered support from many of the most prominent figures in the modern GOP. One such figure is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who praised the legislation in an interview with Real America’s Voice. “This is something we need all throughout our nation,” she said. “I’m so proud of Governor Landry…. We need morals back in our nation, back in our schools, and if there’s anything we’re going to present in front of our children, it should be the word of God.”
This stance appears to be a mainstream view within the Republican Party, as the party’s leader, Donald Trump, also threw his support behind Louisiana’s efforts in a post on Truth Social: 
Tumblr media
The Republicans’ embrace of this religious mandate in public schools is deeply hypocritical, contravening many principles they have previously claimed to stand for, and incredibly short-sighted. 
Firstly, they are proving to be fair-weather fans of the First Amendment. These same types regularly champion free speech when it comes to opposing government censorship or progressive attempts to crack down on “hate speech” (which now includes uttering basic biological truths), and they are absolutely right to do so. However, you cannot selectively support the First Amendment, endorsing free speech and freedom of religion clauses while actively violating the Establishment Clause. After all, if Republicans can disregard the parts they don’t like when it’s inconvenient, then progressives can too!
Secondly, Republicans are compromising their stated beliefs about the importance of parents’ rights and opposing “indoctrination” in schools. Now, they suddenly advocate for the government’s role in teaching children morality, instead of leaving this responsibility to parents or families.
Which is it? Consistent supporters of parents’ rights believe that it should be up to parents to teach their kids about morality, whether it concerns pronouns or prayer. 
There’s also the issue of misplaced priorities. Louisiana ranks 40th out of all 50 states in education. Meanwhile, 40 percent of 3rd graders cannot read at grade level, according to The Advocate. Yet, the governor prioritizes mandating posters of the Ten Commandments—and allocating tax dollars to defending it in court—that many students probably can’t even read.
Even many conservative Christians can see the issue here. As radio host Erick Erickson put it:
When the 3rd grade reading level is only 49 percent, I don’t see why the state wants to spend money on lawyers for a probably unconstitutional law making the Ten Commandments mandatory just to virtue signal a side in a culture war. Actually use conservative reforms to fix the schools instead of putting up posters half the 3rd grade cannot even read.
Perhaps the most common Republican rejoinder is that displaying the Ten Commandments is an educational initiative focused on historical context rather than a promotion of religion. But while there’s no disputing its historical significance, it’s not being presented as part of a broader course on religion that features a variety of religious and secular perspectives, which would be fine. Instead, beliefs from a particular religious tradition, the Judeo-Christian one, are being elevated and mandated to the deliberate exclusion of others. This selective approach is hardly subtle: Governor Landry purposefully signed the bill at a Catholic school and even referenced Moses! 
There’s no denying that the Ten Commandments are inherently religious, as they proscribe not only murder and adultery but also idolatry, taking the Lord’s name in vain, and working on the Sabbath. So, conservatives making this “history, not religion” argument are straining credulity. 
What’s more, further empowering government schools to promote a specific ideology to students will not end well for conservatives. It’s not exactly breaking news that the public education system is overwhelmingly staffed and run by people with increasingly left-leaning political and cultural views. Conservatives should be fighting to restore viewpoint neutrality in the public square—not further undermining it and thereby making it easier for woke ideologues to propagandize to everyone’s kids. 
It’s sad, but ultimately not surprising, to see so many Republicans proving to be inconsistent allies to true liberal values. At least those few genuine, principled defenders of the First Amendment now know who our allies are—and who they are not.

Moral consistency requires opposing both.
... Secularism means that no particular ideology is being forwarded and getting special treatment. Go have your belief. Believe what you want. Privately. You don’t get special treatment because you believe this with tons of conviction. Secularism means that your belief in your faith covers none of the distance to proving that it’s true.

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

System Reveals and the Art of Questioning the Narrative
Tumblr media
The empty shelves stared back at millions of shoppers in March 2020. Where just days before stood neat rows of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and basic necessities, now lay barren metal racks collecting dust. This wasn't supposed to happen in our modern world of plenty. Yet in that moment, the intricate dance of global supply chains—previously invisible to most—suddenly commanded center stage in our collective consciousness.
This was a system reveal.
When the Curtain Falls
A system reveal occurs when circumstances strip away the comfortable veneer of normalcy, exposing the complex machinery that powers our daily lives. Like a magician's secrets laid bare, these moments force us to confront the true nature of systems we've long taken for granted.
The pandemic offered numerous such reveals: Supply chains proved more fragile than imagined. Healthcare systems buckled under unprecedented strain. The mighty engine of global commerce sputtered and stalled. Each revelation challenged our assumptions about the robustness of modern civilization's foundations.
The Comfort of Ignorance
Why do these reveals shake us so deeply? The answer lies in human nature. We're hardwired to seek stability and predictability. Questioning foundational systems—be they economic, social, or political—threatens that sense of security. It's far more comfortable to assume things "just work" than to examine the creaking joints and rusty gears beneath.
Society reinforces this willful blindness. From early education through adult life, we're taught to trust in established systems. Question too deeply, and you risk being labeled a conspiracy theorist or troublemaker. This social conditioning, combined with our natural aversion to change, creates a powerful incentive to look away from systemic flaws.
Bitcoin: The Ultimate System Reveal
Enter Bitcoin. More than just a new form of money, Bitcoin functions as a lens that brings the hidden machinery of our financial system into sharp focus. Through its mere existence, it poses uncomfortable questions:
Why do we accept the continuous devaluation of our savings through inflation? Why trust central authorities to manage our money supply when their incentives often conflict with our interests? Why rely on a system built on trust when we could have one built on verification?
Bitcoin reveals that money itself—perhaps our most fundamental social system—rests on increasingly shaky foundations. The emperor has no clothes, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Cultivating the Critical Eye
Developing the ability to recognize and learn from system reveals requires deliberate practice. Start with pattern recognition—notice when similar problems repeatedly emerge in different contexts. Are they truly isolated incidents, or symptoms of deeper systemic issues?
Apply first principles thinking. Rather than accepting systems as they are, break them down to their fundamental truths and rebuild them mentally from the ground up. This process often reveals unnecessary complexities and potential improvements.
Most importantly, maintain intellectual humility. The most profound system reveals often challenge our most cherished beliefs. Be willing to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if the destination proves uncomfortable.
From Awareness to Action
System reveals aren't meant to discourage—they're invitations to innovate. Each exposed flaw represents an opportunity to build something better. Bitcoin exemplifies this principle: Rather than merely criticizing the existing financial system, it offers a concrete alternative built on different foundational assumptions.
The same approach can apply to any system. When reveals occur, we can choose to patch over the cracks or rebuild on stronger foundations. The choice is ours, but it requires courage to first acknowledge the need for change.
The Power of Questioning
As we navigate an era of accelerating change and increasing complexity, system reveals will likely become more frequent and profound. Rather than fear these moments of clarity, we should embrace them as opportunities for growth and evolution.
The next time you encounter a system reveal—whether in finance, technology, politics, or daily life—resist the urge to look away. Ask questions. Seek understanding. Consider alternatives. For in these moments of discomfort lie the seeds of progress and the potential for building more resilient, equitable, and sustainable systems for all.
The cracks in our systems aren't failures—they're windows into possibility. The question is: Are we brave enough to look through them?

you mention the apollo guidance computer in your bio.
do you have any nerdy fun facts about it?
Thanks for the ask!
It's difficult to convey everything the AGC was, concisely, but here's some highlists:
In terms of size and power, it's comparable to the Apple II, but predates it by 11 years. There are some obvious differences in the constraints placed on the two designs, but still, that's pretty ahead of it's time.
The bare-bones OS written for the AGC was one of the first to ever implement co-operative multi-tasking and process priority management. This would lead problems on Apollo 11, when an erroneously deployed landing radar overloaded the task scheduler on Eagle during the Lunar landing (the infamous 1201/1202 program alarms). Fortunately, it didn't end up affecting the mission, and the procedures were subsequently revised/better followed to avoid the situation ever reoccurring.
Relatedly, it was also designed to immediately re-boot, cull low-priority tasks, and resume operations following a crash -- a property essential to ensuring the spacecraft could be piloted safely and reliably in all circumstances. Many of the reliability-promoting techniques used by Apollo programmers (led by Margaret Hamilton, go women in STEM) went on to become foundational principles of software engineering.
Following the end of the Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz missions, a modified AGC would be re-purposed into the worlds first digital fly-by-wire system. (Earlier fly-by-wire used analogue computers, which are their own strange beasts.) This is, IMO, one of the easiest things to point to when anyone asks "What does NASA even do for us anyway?" Modern aircraft autopilots owe so, so much to the AGC -- and passengers owe so much to those modern autopilots. While there are some pretty well-known incidents involving fly-by-wire (lookin' at you, MCAS), it speaks to the incredible amount of safety such systems normally afford that said incidents are so rare. Pilot error killed so many people before computers hit the cockpit.
AGC programs were stored in a early form of read only memory, called "core rope memory", where bits were literally woven into an array of copper wire and magnets. As a Harvard-architecture machine (programs and variables stored and treated separately), it therefore could not be re-programmed in flight. This would be problem on Apollo 14, when an intermittent short in the LM's abort switch nearly cancelled the landing -- if it occurred during decent, the computer would immediately discard the descent engine and return to orbit. A second, consecutive failure (after Apollo 13) would have almost certainly ended in the cancellation of the program, and the loss of the invaluable findings of Apollo 15, 16, and 17. (These were the missions with the lunar roving vehicles, allowing treks far from the LM.) Fortunately, the MIT engineers who built the AGC found a solution -- convince the computer it had, in fact, already aborted, allowing the landing to occur as normal -- with a bit of manual babysitting from LMP Edgar Mitchell.
Finally, it wasn't actually the only computer used on Apollo! The two AGCs (one in the command module, the other in the Lunar Module, a redundancy that allowed Apollo 13 to power off the CM and survive their accident) were complemented by the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) designed by IBM and located in S-IVB (Saturn V's third stage, Saturn-I/IB's second stage), and the Abort Guidance System (AGS) located in the LM. The AGS was extremely simple, and intended to serve as a backup should the AGC have ever failed and been unable to return the LM to orbit-- something it was fortunately never needed for. The LVDC, on the other hand, was tasked with flying the Saturn rocket to Earth orbit, which it did every time. This was very important during Apollo 12, when their Saturn V was struck by lightning shortly after launch, completely scrambling the CM's electrical system and sending their gimbal stacks a-spinning. Unaffected by the strike, the LVDC flew true and put the crew into a nominal low Earth orbit -- where diagnostics began, the AGC was re-set, and the mission continued as normal.

[….] Plato expresses his Abhorrence of some Fables of the Poets, which seem to reflect on the Gods as the Authors of Injustice; and lays it down as a Principle, That whatever is permitted to befal a just Man, whether Poverty, Sickness, or any of those Things which seem to be Evils, shall either in Life or Death conduce to his Good. My Reader will observe how agreeable this Maxim is to what we find delivered by a greater Authority. Seneca has written a Discourse purposely on this Subject [De Constantia Sapientis], in which he takes Pains, after the Doctrine of the Stoicks, to shew that Adversity is not in itself an Evil; and mentions a noble Saying of Demetrius, That nothing would be more unhappy than a Man who had never known Affliction. He compares Prosperity to the Indulgence of a fond Mother to a Child, which often proves his Ruin; but the Affection of the Divine Being to that of a wise Father who would have his Sons exercised with Labour, Disappointment, and Pain, that they gather Strength, and improve their Fortitude. On this Occasion the Philosopher rises into the celebrated Sentiment, That there is on Earth a Spectator more worthy the Regard of a Creator intent on his Works than a brave Man superior to his Sufferings; to which he adds, That it must be a Pleasure to Jupiter himself to look down from Heaven, and see Cato amidst the Ruins of his Country preserving his Integrity.
This Thought will appear yet more reasonable, if we consider human Life as a State of Probation, and Adversity as the Post of Honour in it, assigned often to the best and most select Spirits.
But what I would chiefly insist on here, is, that we are not at present in a proper Situation to judge of the Counsels by which Providence acts, since but little arrives at our Knowledge, and even that little we discern imperfectly; or according to the elegant Figure in Holy Writ, We see but in part, and as in a Glass darkly. It is to be considered, that Providence in its Oeconomy regards the whole System of Time and Things together, so that we cannot discover the beautiful Connection between Incidents which lie widely separated in Time, and by losing so many Links of the Chain, our Reasonings become broken and imperfect. Thus those Parts in the moral World which have not an absolute, may yet have a relative Beauty, in respect of some other Parts concealed from us, but open to his Eye before whom Past, Present, and To come, are set together in one Point of View: and those Events, the Permission of which seems now to accuse his Goodness, may in the Consummation of Things both magnify his Goodness, and exalt his Wisdom. And this is enough to check our Presumption, since it is in vain to apply our Measures of Regularity to Matters of which we know neither the Antecedents nor the Consequents, the Beginning nor the End.
I shall relieve my Reader from this abstracted Thought, by relating here a Jewish Tradition concerning Moses [Henry More’s Divine Dialogues] which seems to be a kind of Parable, illustrating what I have last mentioned. That great Prophet, it is said, was called up by a Voice from Heaven to the top of a Mountain; where, in a Conference with the Supreme Being, he was permitted to propose to him some Questions concerning his Administration of the Universe. In the midst of this Divine Colloquy he was commanded to look down on the Plain below. At the Foot of the Mountain there issued out a clear Spring of Water, at which a Soldier alighted from his Horse to drink. He was no sooner gone than a little Boy came to the same Place, and finding a Purse of Gold which the Soldier had dropped, took it up and went away with it. Immediately after this came an infirm old Man, weary with Age and Travelling, and having quenched his Thirst, sat down to rest himself by the Side of the Spring. The Soldier missing his Purse returns to search for it, and demands it of the old Man, who affirms he had not seen it, and appeals to Heaven in witness of his Innocence. The Soldier not believing his Protestations, kills him. Moses fell on his Face with Horror and Amazement, when the Divine Voice thus prevented his Expostulation: “Be not surprised, Moses, nor ask why the Judge of the whole Earth has suffer'd this Thing to come to pass: The Child is the Occasion that the Blood of the old Man is split; but know, that the old Man whom thou saw'st, was the Murderer of that Child's Father.”
_ Joseph Addison, The Spectator, no. 237 (December 1, 1711)

I met a girl with nice qualities. She is of taqwa. Alhamdulillah we both are muslims. We understand each other well. But the problem is I am not attracted to her. I don't feel a "heart to heart connection" as they say. Moreover, my parents are against our marriage. Do you think I can fall in love with her after the marriage? Or at least live a happy life?
It is very important for the peace of the home to be established and the training and education of the children to be born that the man choose the girl to marry carefully and the parents of the girl choose the son-in-law carefully. Our Prophet, who advised us to be careful in choosing the son-in-law and daughter-in-law, wanted us to be cautious by saying, "People are like mines in terms of good deeds and bad deeds."(1) Hazrat Umar tells the following three things to his son who asks him about the rights of a child regarding his father: 'Choose a mother with high ethics and good manners, give him/her a nice name, and teach him/her the Quran." (2)
First of all, the main purpose of a marriage is to bring up good children; it is also important because marriage prevents the person to be married from committing some sins and ensures him/her to have a regular life. Otherwise, it is certain that an attempt originating only from the desires of the soul and based on only satisfying some temporary pleasures will cause constant problems in the future.
When Imam Ghazali lists the principles of our religion regarding the issue, he mentions the following two qualities in the first two places:
(1) religiousness,
(2) high ethics.(3)
A similar or equal level between the couples is very important so that the marriage will not break in the future. It is certain that a religious girl and a frivolous man will not make a good couple. Such a marriage will probably break down because it usually becomes impossible to live in harmony for spouses with different lifestyles. Similarly, the marriage of a religious man with a woman who does not act in accordance with the divine commands and who is not religious will cause a lot of problems and will be difficult to continue. Thus, Islam prevents possible incidents beforehand by taking necessary measures. So, it ensures the continuation of the system in the community on sound principles.
Our Prophet (pbuh), who attracts attention to the issue, gives believers the following advice:
"Women are preferred for four qualities in marriage: for her property, nobility, beauty and religion. Prefer the religious one, you will be happy."(4)
It is the advice of the Prophet to give importance to the religiousness of the woman apart from the other qualities. Therefore, it is the most important point to be taken into consideration by Muslims.
When Hazrat Umar asked the Prophet, "What kind of goods should we obtain to meet our needs?", he answered: "The best goods are a tongue that mentions the names of Allah (dhikr), a heart that thanks Allah and a believing woman who helps her husband in Islamic activities regarding the hereafter."(5)
Our Prophet regards the woman who helps her husband in Islamic activities as one of the most important wealth.
Our Prophet, who often warns us regarding the issue, wants us to be more careful with his following advice: "Do not marry women only for their beauty because their beauty may put them in danger. Do not marry them only for their property because their property may deprave them. Marry the religious one. Doubtlessly, a black female slave with a cut nose, and pierced ear is better that a woman who is not religious."
A man should look for a religious woman to marry; similarly, it is the duty of the parents of the girl to give importance to the religiousness of the man to marry their daughter. The parents who give importance only to beauty, wealth and social status but not to religiousness may cause disturbance and mischief.
A man whose daughter’s hand is asked for marriage goes to Hasan al-Basri and asks him; “To what kind of a person shall I give my daughter?" Hasan al-Basri says, "Give her to a man who fears Allah. If he loves your daughter, he will treat her well; if he hates your daughter, he will not oppress her."(6)
Badiuzzaman says; " According to the Shari’a, the husband should be a good match for the wife. That is, they should be suitable to one another. The most important aspect of this being suitable is from the point of view of religion. Happy is the husband who sees the wife’s firm religion and follows her, and himself becomes pious in order not to lose his companion of eternal life. Happy is the wife who sees her husband’s firmness in religion and becomes pious so as not to lose her eternal friend."(7)
When both parties take the aspect of religiousness into consideration, they will naturally give importance to other aspects. Another quality to be sought in the woman is being good-tempered and having high ethics. After all, most of the women who are careful in their religious life will try to act in accordance with the Islamic ethics.
The opinion and preference of the woman about the man should not be forgotten and neglected because marriage is a lifelong togetherness that will go in the eternal life too.
Another point to be taken into consideration is that the mahr of the woman should not be much. That is, it should not cost a lot for the man. Today, in some regions, bride price, which is a custom of ignorance, still leads to the prevention of marriage.
Islamic scholars state that the poverty of a good and virtuous candidate will not be a barrier for equality between the husband and wife and for the marriage. Then, if the spouses agree to marry, an inequality in terms of richness and poverty will not be a serious drawback to marriage.
In addition, if the religiousness and ethics of a woman has the desired quality, the fact that she is from a rich family and that she has her own property can be an additional reason for preference. That quality is mentioned as a different reason in the hadith.

Excerpt from “Storek’s Proofs: A Collected Works,” publication 2475. Trans. by Ambassador S’Ch’n T’Gai Spock. Written by Storek, House of T’Sten, Doctor of Philosophy, Vulcan Logic Institute, New Shi’ikar.
A: It is illogical to expect an Andorian to behave Logically.
Why? In Standard terms, Logic is a social philosophy with religious elements; it is both an ontology and epistemology. Medically, it is a spiritual practice necessary for Vulcans to obtain psychological health. More soberly—and in the common view of Vulcans ourselves—it is a bulwark, the orienting principle of Vulcan society. Vulcans adhere to Logic to prevent destruction, both public and personal. We also do so to attain a more perfect society, with better outcomes and higher gains (i.e. positively—in producing more beneficial social conditions—and negatively—to curtail violent influences). The word violent, here, should be understood to mean not only physical destruction, but also to mean abandon, overwhelm. In the ancient French language of Earth, “violent” could be construed as “having a marked or powerful effect.”Violent may also mean strong. It may mean vivid. One may lean upon the Terran analogy of a computer overheating—the resultant consequence of processing too many commands at one time. Logic seeks to purify the cognitive process, to strip all that is superfluous in order to cool the mind*.
*As Surak’s 8th Principle would teach us, [from a great river comes a trickling stream.] Here, Surak’s contemporaries once wrote, the essence of nourishment. Here, a steady flow. But I digress.
This understanding, the most basic and prevailing one, would seem to paint Logic a mental discipline which all may and thus all should, from a Logical point of view, strive to attain.
However, Logic is not only an intellectual pursuit nor a religious dogma/philosophy. That is to say, it is not only of the mind. Humans often interpret Vulcan Logic through the lens of the Cartesian duality—wherein the mind is a separate entity from the body, occupying a higher stratum of moral status and function. Indeed, many of the oft-read Logic Revivalists have re-invigorated this concept, portraying baser Vulcan flesh as bested by the superior, nobler Vulcan intellect. That the sensual is subaltern and the intellectual supreme has proven observably popular in the contemporary age of 2092-2373.
In reality, both the principles and practice of Logic are directly facilitated by the body: the body of the Vulcans. The Vulcan autonomic, parasympathetic, and general nervous systems are vastly different to those of other humanoid and Federation species. It is well known [footnote, Dr. Joseph M’Benga, Dr. Leonard H. McCoy] that Vulcans have an abnormal degree of control over their autonomic functions—that they are able to regulate their heartbeat, blood pressure, lung capacity, pain receptors, and other bodily functions at will. Thus, the Vulcan may well have an outsized ability to implement Logic on an individual, biochemical level.
Likewise, the Vulcan brain is enormously complex and opaque to most Federation scientists. Existing observations have noted that Vulcan psychology and neurology are capable of re-structuring themselves after traumatic incidents to facilitate Logical processes [Footnote: EMH Mark I AK1-323]. These systems re-order and even repress cognition in order to prevent the proliferation of strong emotion. Emotion, neurochemically speaking, is toxic to the disciplined Vulcan brain. That discipline will thus act to preserve itself. In sum, the Vulcan brain—its synapses, neurotransmitters, and engrams—themselves facilitate the attainment of Logic. Viewed from a biochemical lens, it is more reasonable—less resistant*—for a Vulcan to pursue Logical behavior than Illogical.
*Surak’s Teachings, 47:3 Logic yields. Emotion struggles; the path of least resistance is eminent.
(That is not to say that free will is absent; nor to deride the many struggles that Vulcan psyche and body-mind must endure to retain and maintain Logical thought. Vulcan medical journals and history are littered with accounts, both empirical and anecdotal, of [those who reject logic] and those who stumble within it. However, this argument seeks to attain a less speciesalist and more xenointersectional/xenocomparative (and thus total) view of Logic-as-doctrine. Thus, we proceed with the general, rather than the specific.)
But what of other Federation and non-Federation species? Those beings whose neurology accommodates, facilitates, and protects Emotion? As the ancient Earth poet once wrote of his people’s condition: If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
We can only arrive at the following conclusion:
B: It is Logical that the Andorian behave Ilogically.
While prized and fiercely defended, the personal discipline of the Vulcan society does not necessarily reflect a Truth about the Universe; the Universe may, in fact, bend towards a Logical Illogic, wherein the existing chaos of sentience—rife with its brutality, ecstasy, contradictions, and aborted schemes—reflects a larger pattern of balance. One may consider this entropy nonviolent—that is to say, Emotionless, apathetic, and dispassionate.
C: Illogic, in this case, is the most Logical course of events.
All sentience itself, logical or illogical, I contend, stems from and is borne by Logic. What else might one term the interaction of neurotransmitters and neural receptors, the steady diffusion across cell membranes of encoded information, transmitting a pulsing signal? After all, these are the impulses that compel even the most offensive of Emotional acts: weeping, laughter, the strike of jealous rage. And yet, the radio wave is not Illogical. All that is, is.
Is this not Logic, defined?
Should an Andorian’s antennae twitch, it is no less or more Illogical than the octopatellar reflex. Should a Human cry, lacrimal glands secreting acetylcholine and sodium, it is no more or less Illogical than the Vulcan esh-sa’haf expanding to accommodate greater airflow.
Is it not Vulcan supremacy, if not pride, that implies otherwise?
Conclusion. D: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.
I leave this matter now to my contemporaries, who will no doubt have much to say on the matter.
Dif-tor heh smusma.
okay this is kind of a stupid thought but I was thinking about the internal debates that Vulcan society must have around logic and it occurred to me that Vulcan must have “logical relativists” in the same way that human philosophy has moral relativists…I just know that there’s at least 30 Vulcan philosophers who want to KILL the noble Storek House of T’Nel (or something) because he can’t stop telling everyone that All Behavior is Inherently Logical as it Makes Sense to the Acting Party at the Time. Humans are Illogical Therefore it is Logical That They Act Illogicaly, thus All of Their Actions are Logical. All Thought, Conscious or Unconscious, Proceeds from Biological and Neurochemical Impulses. Therefore, the Sentient Being Behaves Much like a Computer, Following its Compiled Commands. No Behavior, Knowing the Chemical Commands that Preempt Consciousness, Can Be Considered Illogical.
and everyone else is just like “ohhh my fucking GOD Storek, shut UP!”

"The Right Way to Add Users to Sudoers Without Compromising Security"
Granting administrative privileges in Linux isn’t just about functionality — it’s a matter of trust and security. The sudoers system is a powerful way to control access, but misusing it can lead to serious vulnerabilities.
This blog breaks down the correct, secure, and thoughtful way to add users to the sudoers system without exposing your Linux environment to risk — all without diving into terminal commands.
🧠 Why the Sudoers System Exists
In Linux, the root user has full control over the system. However, it’s unsafe to use this account directly or share access to it. That’s where sudo comes in — it acts like a controlled gate, letting approved users carry out admin tasks while tracking and limiting their power.
The sudoers system defines who can use sudo, and what actions they are allowed to perform.
🎯 The Real Goal: Controlled Administrative Access
When adding users to sudoers, the goal is not just to “make it work” — it’s to do so responsibly, following these core principles:
🔐 1. Minimum Required Access
Don’t grant full administrative rights unless it’s absolutely necessary. Most users only need limited privileges to perform specific tasks.
Example: A developer might only need permission to restart a web server — not to install software or edit system files.
🧩 2. Specific, Not Broad Permissions
Avoid giving overly broad permissions. It’s better to allow access to only the tools or actions a user truly needs, rather than giving full access across the system.
Why this matters: Over-permissioned users could unintentionally (or maliciously) change critical system settings.
📁 3. Organized and Trackable Access
Structure your access rules so they are clear and easy to review. Keep user permissions separated and well-documented. This helps during audits, troubleshooting, or team changes.
👥 4. Use Roles or Groups Wisely
If multiple users need the same level of access, consider organizing them into a group. That way, you can manage their privileges collectively, without having to repeat rules for each person.
🧪 5. Test and Monitor Privileges Regularly
Granting sudo access isn’t a one-time task. Regularly review who has access and ensure that all privileges are still necessary. Also, monitor system logs to track how sudo privileges are being used.
🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced admins can introduce risk if they’re not careful. Here are some things not to do: ❌ Mistake⚠️ Risk IntroducedGiving full system access to casual usersIncreases chance of critical errorsAllowing unrestricted access to sensitive toolsUsers might bypass intended security controlsSkipping access reviewsOutdated permissions can lead to long-term vulnerabilitiesNot recording who has what permissionsMakes audits and incident response harder
✅ Best Practices Summary
Here’s a recap of how to add users to sudoers safely and correctly:
Only give access that’s needed for the user’s role
Be precise about what actions users can perform
Avoid full administrative access unless absolutely necessary
Keep access policies clean, structured, and documented
Regularly audit and review who has sudo access
🏁 Final Thoughts
Adding a user to the sudoers system isn't just about function — it's a security decision that should be made with care. By following a structured, minimal-access approach, you can keep your Linux system both productive and protected.
In short:
✅ Give access thoughtfully ✅ Review regularly ✅ Grant only what's required

Textido OR Radio Dio or Dios ??
secured
Before the advent of police radio, beats were organized by watchmen and constables in towns and cities to cover specific areas, usually shown on a map in the police station and given some sort of name or number. Officers would be assigned a beat by their sergeant and sometimes given a card indicating that the officer should be at a particular point at set times, usually 30 to 45 minutes apart. The points would usually be telephone booths, call boxes, police boxes, sentry boxes, or public houses, where it would be possible to phone the officer should he be needed to respond to an incident. The officer would remain at the point for a set amount of time, typically five minutes, and then patrol the area, gradually making his way to the next point.[2]
Sometime during an officer's shift, he could expect a supervisory officer to meet him at one of the points. This ensured the beat patrol was being correctly carried out and was an opportunity to discuss problems. The supervisor would sign the officer or constable's pocket book, ensuring that it was up to date. Missing a point or a supervisor meeting often resulted in disciplinary action. Officers typically had many limitations on what they could do on their beat and were dissuaded from forming close bonds with their community. In the United Kingdom, police constables were not allowed to converse with passerby or pass the time with other constables unless it was necessary to perform their duties.[2]
The same principles extended to beats patrolled on bicycles or in motor vehicles. Even with radio communication, the patrol vehicle would be expected to visit and remain at certain points at particular times, allowing supervisors to meet up with the patrolling officer or to give a visible police presence at times when this was deemed particularly needed.
Chief Constable Captain Athelstan Popkess of the Nottingham City Police is credited with being largely responsible for transforming British police from their Victorian era beat policing model to the modern reactive response model, through his development of the Mechanized Division, which used two-way radio communication between police command and patrol cars.[3][4] Popkess and the Nottingham City Police would expand the reactive response model, including overlaying mobile patrol areas on top of several existing foot beats; allowing responding Mechanized Division officers to collect colleagues on foot and take them to incidents; "snatch-plans" to pot up police cars at key road junctions in the event of serious crimes; and the use of unmarked vehicles. Around the same period, police in other countries such as the United States also began to reorganize their traditional beat systems to use advances in policing technology.
