A quotation from Norman F. Dixon
The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

🔱 Luz Perpetua: La IA que jubiló a los apagones masivos
En un mundo cada vez más dependiente del silicio, la estabilidad energética es nuestra primera línea de defensa. Este mes de febrero de 2026, la IA ha demostrado que puede ser el soporte vital invisible de nuestras ciudades
▶️ 🧠 Estabilidad Absoluta: Redes neuronales gestionando infraestructuras críticas en milisegundos para evitar colapsos durante tormentas solares.
▶️ 💰 Eficiencia Post-Escasez: Reducción del 22% en el desperdicio energético, traduciéndose en facturas más bajas para el ciudadano.
▶️ 🛡️ Seguridad Civil: Hospitales y servicios básicos blindados contra el error humano.
Pregunta para el debate:
¿Estamos dispuestos a ceder el control de nuestras redes vitales a una IA a cambio de un suministro infalible y ahorro directo?

A board of review must be granted once a Scout completes the requirements and finishes the Scoutmaster conference. The Guide to Advancement is clear: adults cannot delay the process for months. 😊
Boards can take place at many locations, not just regular meetings. Holding them promptly respects the Scout’s effort and keeps advancement fair . Families are allowed to ask questions when delays happen. 🌟

Progress is the stride of God. Widely attributed to Hugo, but I cannot find a primary source for it. In a few places it is cited to his William Shakespeare (1864), but not in the two English translations I could find for it, nor could I identify it in the…
