Technocratic Oath

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick user, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine software as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug need for another dependency.

Things Queer Culture Teaches That Straight Culture Doesn’t:

You don’t have to get married if you don’t want to. You don't have to have kids if you don’t want to.

It's nobody’s job to flirt with you or be flirted with. If you’re into someone, do the work and tell them.

Your clothing and hair and other style choices are to make YOU feel good first and foremost.

Signaling to your people is the secondary job of hair and clothes. But don’t dress for them. Be you, they’ll see it.
