A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Under the spoils system a man is appointed to an ordinary clerical or ministerial position in the municipal, Federal, or State government, not primarily because he is expected to be a good servant, but because he has rendered help to some big boss or to the henchman of some big boss. His stay in office depends not upon how he performs service, but upon how he retains his influence in the party. This necessarily means that his attention to the interests of the public at large, even though real, is secondary to his devotion to his organization, or to the interest of the ward leader who put him in his place.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 5 “Applied Idealism” (1913)

Respect is an earned privilege, not a mandate you can force upon others to soothe your fragile ego. Demanding reverence while displaying nothing but hollow, inconsistent behavior is a pathetic display. Earn your status through substance, or remain perpetually ignored.

Lay Buddhism is closer to Hinduism, in that Hinduism believes pūjā/sīla (rituals and virtues) alone can lead to Nibbāna (eg, that devas can grant liberation). Many lay Buddhists still hold that view, and some think the point of being a monk/nun is just to make lots of merit.

Buddhism, True Practice, and the Search for Lasting Happiness - News Features | Daily Mirror

Recent concerns surrounding misconduct within sections of the Buddhist monastic community have prompted reflection rather than condemnation. Incidents such as the arrest of certain monks involved in drug smuggling are deeply troubling, and even some senior Buddhist priests have publicly acknowledged the moral and spiritual decline visible within parts of the Sangha. ..

Respect is earned through relentless competence, not demanded by the fragile and insecure. If you find yourself desperately begging for validation, you have already forfeited your dignity. Your pathetic insistence on being honored only highlights your fundamental lack of merit.

Dnes, 31. května 2026, nastává mimořádné a vzácné kosmické souznění. Jsme svědky Modrého úplňku (druhého úplňku v jednom kalendářním měsíci), který připadá na stejný den jako Saga Dawa Düchen, nejposvátnější den tibetského buddhistického kalendáře.
Saga Dawa připomíná Gautamu Buddhu a jeho narození, osvícení i parinirvánu (odchod z tohoto světa).

Discrimination Preferences https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:crm:wpaper:26125&r=&r=exp
"… #moral preferences are highly heterogeneous and the moral #discrimination preferences we introduce are widespread. We identify minorities of individuals with tastes for.…and large majorities with preferences against taste discrimination
… substantial shares with merit-based preferences for statistical discrimination…as well as against statistical discrimination
… discrimination is sensitive to profitability, but only 21% of individuals are pure profit maximizers on average, and moral preferences remain highly relevant. When taste discrimination becomes profitable, a sizable minority is swayed to engage in it… but 75% forgo earnings by refusing to engage in it. When instead it becomes profitable to engage in statistical discrimination, most are enticed to engage in it… Nevertheless, 32% forgo earnings by refusing to engage in statistical discrimination. The bulk of statistical discrimination with monetary incentives here stems from merit concerns rather than profit maximization. This is because about half of individuals statistically discriminate on #merit grounds even without monetary incentives to do so

Il Tempo: Rauti (FdI): Pino Rauti, "Centenario nascita occasione per analisi attualità del suo pensiero politico"

"Ricordare la figura di mio padre a cento anni dalla nascita significa non soltanto onorarne la memoria ma analizzare il suo ruolo nella Destra italiana, la centralità e l'attualità del suo pensiero politico e la sua incessante attività e ricerca intellettuale", ha dichiarato il Sottosegretario di Stato alla Difesa, senatrice Isabella Rauti, partecipando a Sesto San Giovanni all'incontro "Pino Rauti a 100 anni dalla nascita: l'uomo, il politico, l'intellettuale e le idee", organizzato allo Spazio Camelot.
"Un'occasione", ha detto la senatrice di Fratelli d'Italia - eletta nel Collegio di Sesto San Giovanni nel 2022- "per raccontare e ricostruire la sua lungimiranza culturale e politica e la sua capacità di anticipare i tempi, i fenomeni e le criticità, guidato sempre dalla convinzione che la politica non sia la gestione dell'esistente ma visione del futuro e servizio alla comunità nazionale”. “Mio padre - conclude Isabella Rauti- ha insegnato ad intere generazioni di giovani missini che un popolo senza memoria è come un albero senza radici: non si ha nostalgia delle radici, ma è in loro che matura la consapevolezza della propria identità storica e spirituale. Questo ci consente di interpretare il presente e di disegnare il futuro."
L'appuntamento si inserisce in un calendario di eventi già avviato, con numerose iniziative in programma in varie città italiane, anche in concomitanza con le celebrazioni per gli ottanta anni della fondazione del MSI. Il percorso si concluderà a Roma con una mostra documentale — sul politico e sull'uomo — che verrà inaugurata il 19 novembre, giorno del centenario della sua nascita. All'incontro era presente anche il Sottosegretario di Stato al Ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito, onorevole, Paola Frassinetti.

Rauti (FdI): Pino Rauti, "Centenary birth anniversary provides an opportunity to analyze the current relevance of his political thought”

“Remembering the figure of my father a hundred years after his birth means not only honoring his memory but also analyzing his role in Italian politics, the centrality and relevance of his political thought, and his tireless activity and intellectual pursuit,” stated Undersecretary of State at Defense, Senator Isabella Rauti, participating in Sesto San Giovanni at the meeting “Pino Rauti 100 Years After His Birth: The Man, The Politician, The Intellectual, And The Ideas,” organized at the Spazio Camelot.

“A valuable opportunity,” said the Senator of Brothers of Italy – elected in the constituency of Sesto San Giovanni in 2022 – “to tell his story and reconstruct his cultural and political foresight, and his ability to anticipate trends, phenomena, and critical issues, always guided by the belief that politics is not the management of the existing but a vision of the future and service to the national community.” “My father – concludes Isabella Rauti – taught entire generations of young Missinians that a people without memory is like a tree without roots: one does not yearn for the roots, but it is in them that one matures the awareness of one’s historical and spiritual identity. This allows us to interpret the present and to shape the future.”

The event fits into a calendar of events already underway, with numerous initiatives planned in various Italian cities, also coinciding with the celebrations for the eighty years of the founding of MSI. The journey will conclude in Rome with a documentary exhibition – on the politician and the man – which will be inaugurated on November 19th, the day of his centennial birthday. The Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Education and Merit, Paola Frassinetti, was also present at the meeting.
