Stoic principles (https://stephenbaines.medium.com/9-principles-of-stoicism-which-will-improve-your-life-6ca089c8eb37):
1. Acknoledge that all emotions come from within
2. Find someone you respect, and use them to stay honest (as if they watch all your thoughts all the time)
(“Choose someone whose way of life as well as words, and whose very face as mirroring the character that lies behind it, have won your approval. Be always pointing him out to yourself either as your guardian or as your model. This is a need, in my view, for someone as a standard against which our characters can measure themselves. Without a ruler to do it against you won’t make the crooked straight.” — Seneca, Letters From a Stoic)
3. Recognize there is life after failure
4. Read purposefully, and apply your knowledge
5. Challenge yourself to be brutally honest
(“‘A consciousness of wrongdoing is the first step to salvation.’ This remark of Epicurus’ is to me a very good one. For a person who is not aware that he is doing anything wrong has no desire to be put right. You have to catch yourself doing it before you can reform. Some people boast about their failings: can you imagine someone who counts his faults as merits ever giving thought to their cure? So — to the best of your ability — demonstrate your own guilt, conduct inquiries of your own into all the evidence against yourself. Play the first part of prosecutor, then of judge and finally of pleader in mitigation. Be harsh with yourself at times.” — Seneca, Letters From a Stoic)
6. Reflect on what you spend the most time on
("A key point to bear in mind: The value of attentiveness varies in proportion to its object. You’re better off not giving the small things more time than they deserve.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)
7. Remember yourself: you weren't meant to procrastinate
("So you were born to feel ‘nice’? Instead of doings things and experiencing them?" - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)
8. Be present
(“Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.” — Seneca, Letters From a Stoic)
9. Remind yourself that the time is our most presious resource
(“Not to live as if you had endless years ahead of you. Death overshadows you. While you’re alive and able — be good.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)

Ворони не знають про існування аеробалістисних ракет
Деякі з них могли їх бачити в польоті, деякі могли навіть бути біля вибуху і вижити, але осягнути що це було вони не можуть
Так звані одні з найрозумніших тварин на землі, що вміють користуватися інструментами і за кілька абстрактних кроків розв'язувати головоломки аби дістати їжу, яку ми їм поклали, все одно не можуть осягнути комплексність ракети
Подумайте що це говорить про людство в космічному масштабі
