"When I was very young, I was foolish enough to believe that our Creed (set of beliefs) would bring an end to all these conflicts (human wars). If only I had possessed the humility to say to myself, I have seen enough for one life, I've done my part. Then again, there is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth." - Altair to his son Darim
- (1) Contribute to society- minimize negative effects (e.g., Bad job application system such as workday, LinkedIn [social media aspect], self-driving car hit people, UCAV drone strikes on civilians).
- (2) Avoid harm (e.g., Bad software that led to the death of people in the Boeing plane crash scandal).
- (3) Be honest and trustworthy (e.g., Tinder initially failed to screen or report criminals to users).
- (4) Be fair (e.g., Facial recognition software would misidentify people because of bad data from lack of diversity).
- (5) Respect the effort (e.g., Give credit where it's due).
- (6) Respect privacy (e.g., During the time of East Germany, Stasi (secret police agent) would stalk and collect info on each person or other Stasi to intimidate, kidnap, arrest, or kill).
- (7) Honor confidentiality (e.g., Company secrets).
- (1) WW3, almost… (In 1980, NORAD reported that the US was under missile attack. The problem was caused by a faulty circuit, a possibility the reporting software hadn’t taken into account. In 1983, a Soviet satellite reported incoming US missiles, but the officer in charge decided to follow his gut feeling that it was a false alarm and decided to do nothing).
- (2) Undetected hole in the ozone layer (The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica remained undetected for a long period of time because the data analysis software used by NASA in its project to map the ozone layer had been designed to ignore values that deviated greatly from expected measurements).
- (3) Flight crashes (A software-induced flight crash happened in 1993, when an error in the flight-control software for the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft was behind a widely publicized crash in Sweden).

"Most people are no doubt familiar with the words jujutsu and judo, but how many can distinguish between them? Here, I will explain the two terms and tell why judo came to take the place of jujutsu. Many martial arts were practiced in Japan during its feudal age: the use of the lance, archery, swordsmanship and many more. Jujutsu was one such art. Although jujutsu's techniques were known from the earliest times, it was not until the latter half of the sixteenth century that jujutsu was practiced and taught systematically. During the Edo period (1603-1868) it developed into a complex art taught by the masters of a number of schools."
