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
Essay (1711-12-08), The Spectator, No. 243

#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

What #qualities would you like your ideal partner to have? This song mentions a young blonde woman with a "Good Sense of Humour" as her number one qualification.
Maybe we're all a bit clueless about what we truly want in a partner.
#理想 のパートナーについて尋ねられたとき、何を必須条件にするでしょうか？
この曲では「ユーモアのセンスがあること」を必須条件に若い金髪女子を募っています
本当に付き合いたい相手の第1条件を正しく挙げられる人は少ないのかも知れません

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.
[On n’est jamais si ridicule par les qualités que l’on a que par celles que l’on affecte d’avoir.]
François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶134 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

Because of its #anticeptic #qualities, #sagetea is used as a gargle for a #sorethroat. There's also compelling new research indicating that
#sage may be of value to people with #diabetes. Lab studies indicate that sage may boost #insulin's action. It was among 24 #herbs tested that were found to boost insulin activity 2 to 5 fold or more in patients with Type II. diabetes. For people who have diabetes, this means that drinking sage
tea in conjunction with their insulin treatments is worth a try

As a child I didn't know or understand the voices around me & their impact. As an adult, the gift I offer to others is their best self for consideration. We know our flaws. Maybe someone pointing out our qualities is very overdue.

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. 🦞
