Self Reliance: Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson is an essay that emphasizes individualism, nonconformity, and the importance of trusting one’s own instincts. Here are some passages from this influential accomplishment that informs American culture:
“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”
” A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
“To be great is to be misunderstood.”
“Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.”
“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”
These excerpts capture the essence of Emerson’s philosophy in “Self-Reliance,” promoting the idea of individualism, self-trust, and the pursuit of one’s unique path in life.
We have avoided listing interpretations offered by artificial intelligence algorithms because those algorithms are informed by at least one-hundred years of biased interpretation by scholars funded by the US federal government which has long since grown hostile to individualism; worthy coffee-house debate. We recommend you consult the original text, linked above.

Open for review:
This standard specifies a communication protocol for networked control systems. The protocol provides peer-to-peer communication for networked control using web-services. The standard describes services in layer 1 and layer 2. The layer 1 (physical layer) describes the MAC sub-layer interface to the physical layer. The layer 2 (data link layer), as described in ANSI/CTA 709.1, is integrated in UDP/IP communication using IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
This standard specifies a new, high-speed, long-distance RF media to the current 709 LON standards. The ISM-RF (Industry, Science, Medicine Radio Frequency) transceiver uses unlicensed RF bands and are specific for EU, North America, and other regions through a software-selectable configuration property. This new standard will provide full interoperability and backwards compatibility with any of the current CTA-709 media types using a standard LON-to-LON router. This new media type is suitable for building and home applications as well as smart city and campus applications. It utilizes a meshing software algorithm to ensure broad coverage over long distance without degrading performance. With over 1MB/sec data rates, the primary use cases are for data collection, device monitoring, and control networks where wired devices are not suitable.

aBSTRACT: Public discourse is often caustic and conflict-filled. This trend seems to be particularly evident when the content of such discourse is around moral issues (broadly defined) and when the discourse occurs on social media. Several explanatory mechanisms for such conflict have been explored in recent psychological and social-science literatures. The present work sought to examine a potentially novel explanatory mechanism defined in philosophical literature: Moral Grandstanding. According to philosophical accounts, Moral Grandstanding is the use of moral talk to seek social status. For the present work, we conducted six studies, using two undergraduate samples (Study 1, N = 361; Study 2, N = 356); a sample matched to U.S. norms for age, gender, race, income, Census region (Study 3, N = 1,063); a YouGov sample matched to U.S. demographic norms (Study 4, N = 2,000); and a brief, one-month longitudinal study of Mechanical Turk workers in the U.S. (Study 5, Baseline N = 499, follow-up n = 296), and a large, one-week YouGov sample matched to U.S. demographic norms (Baseline N = 2,519, follow-up n = 1,776). Across studies, we found initial support for the validity of Moral Grandstanding as a construct. Specifically, moral grandstanding motivation was associated with status-seeking personality traits, as well as greater political and moral conflict in daily life.
