Ave, Dr. V!

While I have my nitpicks with Dr. V on occasion, I wholeheartedly agree with this:

You appropriate our science and technology, why not then appropriate the values, virtues, attitudes, and behaviors that led to the science and technology? Here are some of them: hard work, self-control, self-knowledge, deferral of gratification, focus, protracted study, objectivity, rational thinking, coherent speech, respect for legitimate authorities, respect for elders, and punctuality.
 
[ . . . ]
 
There is nothing 'white' about the above values and virtues, attitudes and behaviors.

Or just be a lazy, directionless piece of shit.
