The International "Rules-based" Order is kaput! We're all BACK on "the global Honour System" Again!
from Google AI:
In 2026, the concept of being a gentleman is widely regarded as inseparable from a personal honor code, though the nature of that code has shifted from rigid social status to a set of internal moral principles. While it doesn't "always" involve a formal written document, it fundamentally relies on an unwritten standard of conduct.
The Role of an Honor Code
Definition of Character: A modern gentleman’s identity is defined by his integrity and trustworthiness—his "personal brand". This code acts as a sole standard of conduct that remains consistent even in private.
The "One-Rule" Standard: Historical and institutional definitions, such as those at Washington College, suggest that being a gentleman can be distilled into a single honor system: not lying, cheating, or stealing, nor tolerating such behavior in others.
Sacred Trust: For a true gentleman, honor is often viewed as "sacred," meaning honesty and fairness are non-negotiable under any circumstances.
Core Principles Often Included in the Code
A gentleman's code typically governs three main areas:
Integrity: Always keeping one's word and maintaining honesty even when it is difficult.Respect and Consideration: Prioritizing the comfort and feelings of others. This includes treating everyone with dignity regardless of their social standing or what they can offer in return.Accountability: Taking full responsibility for actions and mistakes. A gentleman is a "work-in-progress" who seeks reconciliation when he falls short of his own standards.
These articles define the principles of gentlemanly conduct, emphasizing integrity, respect, and accountability as core components of a personal honor code.
from Google AI:
A non-toleration clause is a core component of many strict honor codes, particularly at military academies (like West Point and Air Force Academy) and some universities, obligating individuals not only to refrain from lying, cheating, or stealing but also to report or address such violations by peers, making silence an honor offense itself and emphasizing collective responsibility over personal loyalty. It forces a difficult choice between friendship and duty, establishing a high ethical standard where allowing dishonesty makes one complicit.
Key Aspects
- Definition: "I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do" is a common phrasing, emphasizing peer accountability.
- Purpose: To maintain institutional integrity by ensuring a shared commitment to high ethical standards, promoting character development, and fostering collective responsibility.
- Action Required: If a violation is witnessed, the person must confront the offender to encourage self-reporting or report it to authorities; failure to do so is itself a violation.
- Controversy: It's often seen as demanding, pitting loyalty to friends against duty and fostering a culture of reporting, which some find difficult or harsh.
- Context: While prominent in military settings, similar principles exist in academia (e.g., at Duke, Texas A&M), though some institutions have removed or modified the clause.
Duty, Honour, Country
...but WHICH Country, Globalists/ Imperialists?

We didn't have the "toleration clause" at Kings Point.
In other words, "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier".. ;)
ps - Sailors LOVE sluts!
Law of UNpredictable Consequences
Ceasar also thought that crossing Rubicon leads him only to greatness.
Yawn.
Yes, Caesar believed in the Strong Gods, too. Every gladiator believes in his Audience, and that he is their favourite and that They are rooting for him.
There are 3 types of men who attend the (Olympic) Games. Those who come to compete, those who come to buy and sell (in the stands), and those who come to watch. The latter were thought to be the 'best'.
Dunno. I totally clueless and totally cannot-care-less. About such things.
..and I'm not Caesar. I'm just here to eat the popcorn.
For that... you need to care to live long enough (and get smarts? ;-p)
The fans usually survive longer than the gladiators.
...for they forgo the honours
...and later in homage, bestow them upon those more (and sometimes less) honourable.
...the few. The proud. Never the old men absent who sat in the crowd stands and later died in their beds.
But then wisdom and justice, like courage and temperance, are opposites. ;)
courage:temperance::wisdom:justice
...opposed Virtues!
...awaiting Natural Selection's reaping, and the reproduction/ passing on of those Virtues genetically.
Google AI: In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the phrase "this things to do" appears in Act 4, Scene 4, during a soliloquy where Hamlet reflects on his inaction, questioning why he still lives with "cause, and will, and strength, and means to do't" (revenge for his father's murder) but hasn't acted, contrasting his own hesitation with the decisive action of Fortinbras's army. It highlights his tragic flaw of overthinking ("thinking too precisely on th'event") instead of acting, showing his frustration with his own procrastination.
...leaving only this (or like) dull record of an honourless existence.
//But then wisdom and justice, like courage and temperance, are opposites. ;)
//courage:temperance::wisdom:justice
Whatever.
You still unable to overcome that superstition.
And get that that is just ONE of models. While Nature. And Universe.
Are multi-modal. Means -- it contains em all. By necessity.
//...awaiting Natural Selection's reaping, and the reproduction/ passing on of those Virtues genetically.
Yawn.
And horizontal transmition of genes DO RUIN such a neat and streamlined.model too.

Why THIS your artificial schema should have preferences. Over multitude of possible and existing ones?
Basically -- what's the merit?
Question you carefully avoid to answer all of this time.
Yawn.
And well.
It was pointedly answered by Lem
Long-long ago.
That's... just words.
We, mere humans, cannot do Real or Imaginary.
Only their approximations with naturals. ;-p
Drostean limits.
Scale matters.
Scale "limits" properties of matter.
We can do imaginaries. The mobius strip. Twistors.
The "merit" is that Plato used it for his model and we have 2.5 x 1,000 years of the model's repeated use.
In other words, custom/ tradition.
...Lindy.
// and we have 2.5 x 1,000 years of the model's repeated use.
Yeah. Narrative "those who know better" stomping with iron boots into heads of poor children as "education" which are mere conditioning.
You can think that I overstating. As your fellow 'Meh'rican.
But, man. I am from post-soviet. And came through "iron boot stomping ideology i to head" as a kid.
As well as seen with my own eyes how it all thinned and disappeared... as toilet paper under havy rain. (at first, it looks and feels even rock solid and never changing... but, keep looking, closely... and you'd see how it crumbles)
Pft.))))
What have more power over World -- your twistors? Or bits of binary numbers in computers?
That can even KILL you today.
Can your "twistors" and "imaginares" kill???
Can a nuke kill you?
from Google AI;
Imaginary numbers, particularly the imaginary unit i (√-1), are fundamental to quantum physics, appearing in core equations like the Schrödinger equation to describe the complex-valued wave functions that govern particles, enabling descriptions of interference and superposition. While measurement outcomes and probabilities (derived from the wave function's magnitude) are always real, experiments increasingly confirm that imaginary numbers aren't just a mathematical shortcut but essential for accurately predicting quantum phenomena, revealing a deeper reality tied to complex numbers.
What "scale" do you wish to be killed by? Quantum ok?
It reminds me of that parable. Do you know it?
About two people. One standing on a firm land. And one stuck in a swamp.
First proposes to second help. To regain freedom of movment that bestows solid ground.
To which have responce that of that second that his stance are better... and base his argunents on how unshakably... he cannot even move. More and more unable.
Until swamp "unshakably" closes... over his head.
How many people was killed by nukes?
Some 100.000 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
And what it in compare to *billions* being mind-killed with modern techs? ;-p
:P
Yeah. It's good to have you stationed firmly in same place. ;-p
...until you, or anyone else, comes to get me. ;p
I'm not grave digger to bother. Yawn.
Nope, you're stationed in the room with me. ;)
Yeah.
But that is big enough room.
To contain BOTH -- your swamp and my firm ground. ;-p
Seems like censuring engine trying to prevent posting my copy-pasting.
Yawn.
