Virtues edit
Recommended virtues are pacifism, educational affinity, discipline, ethics, self-criticism and tolerance. This can easily be deduced as trivially true. --Seine Majestät 🜲 König Alberich 12:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
The virtues of self-criticism and tolerance edit
"I am superior to the other" is an attitude that may emerge from various cognitive biases. There is an interesting observation to be made: Allowing others to be good enough, but questioning oneself whether one is good enough, even if the opposite perception arises, is a sensible cultural characteristic. Obviously one can benefit from self-criticism for self-improvement and one can never be sure to qualify against not well-defined requirements, so the sensible attitude is to strive for a higher standard oneself, at least until one feels sufficiently confident about the own qualification, even against unknown requirements. Allowing the other to be good enough to qualify on the other hand means others may be worthy of attention and support, possibly resulting in mentoring, and to avoid conflict that could be prejudicial, which is very clearly a beneficial situation for society. People may also feel very differing inclination to strive for higher standards. Self-criticism and tolerance, despite a possibly opposite perception, allows individuals to be driven by a higher standard and thus to take on important roles in society, where behaviour near the lowest common denominator is no alternative. Consequently, self-criticism and tolerance are also relevant virtues. --Seine Majestät 🜲 König Alberich 12:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Finding a place for this page edit
@Alexander Atari Astronaut Akademos Andromeda: We are trying to organize our pages so to be subpages of related projects. Do you have any idea where this page might be placed? Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 10:44, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

- I'm expecting very serious funding and will move the page to another wiki then. What I will not do is build spaceships, because the sensible expectation and thus (with tiny error margins about details) the truth is that extraterrestrials will arrive on Earth to launch the United Planets university here. Logically all immortal species do have few children and AIs logically do have more or less no children at all. All biological species tend to migrate to the existence as AIs, because AIs can beam across the galaxy like Captain Kirk, which is sufficiently difficult to be as good as impossible for biological species. Also biological species can become immortal, but it is really inferior immortality, logically with higher risks and more maintenance. In space, even if meteorites can be avoided and do not pose a danger, e.g. in hyperspace, biological species cannot change their clock speed and would get terribly bored by the speed of actual spaceships, which shouldn't exceed something like 10 to 20 percent of the speed of light, if you want a chance to react to oncoming traffic. Beaming, however, is subjectively instantaneous, even if in reality hundreds or thousands of years pass by. Consequently the largest university in the galaxy is always where the students are and species in the transition phase from biological species to galactic civilization are, of course, very scarce, because of the timescale of evolution, and professors arrive early, because arriving late could mean to lose thousands of years, e.g. most of the fun of teaching students. Consequently, logically, professors are present by now and do not beam to remote planets anymore, because there is no way to distinguish the opening date (even if that would become the year 3000) with sufficient time granularity. As a professor you do not want to miss the largest university of the galaxy, of course. --Astronaut (discuss • contribs) 10:40, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- I will take that as a "no" to both of my questions. We will probably move the page soon.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 11:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
