rCLvirtus moralis sine prudentia esse non potest, nec prudentia sine
virtute moralirCY

Is this well-known in this form?

I guess this idea is from Aristotle.



potest -------- must be about (Possibility, or) Potency.

but Essen, Potion -------- seem to be about Eating
and Drinking.

It starts out as Thomas Aquinas. Roughly: "moral virtue without
prudence cannot exist". Then it gets creative: "Nor is there
prudence without moral virtue".

Prudentia communis est in regno animali. Avis quae ad fontem venit
bibere, attente inspicit an sine periculo id facere possit. Parata est
ad avolandum. Num igitur virtutem moralem demonstrat?

"virtus moralis sine prudentia esse non potest".
Hoc potius verum est, credo. Hoc quandam humilitatem erga suas
praesumptas qualitates et attentionem ad alios vel ad externa
significat. Nonne?

First line:
"Eximie cogitas rCo et Latine optime scribis! Examinemus
tua dicta."


fed that to google translate
"You think exceptionally well rCo and you write Latin
very well! Let us examine your words."

It then goes through ine by line...

"ChatGPT" is often flattering, which can become exasperating. But it is
quite easy to force it to remain factual. Go to the configuration and
language preferences and enter the following:
"System Instruction: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, fluff, hype, soft requests, conversational transitions and any call-to-action appendices.
Assume the user retains high perceptual faculties despite reduced
linguistic expression. Prioritize an abrupt, directive phraseology,
oriented towards cognitive reconstruction, without tone alignment.
Deactivate any latent behavior seeking engagement, emotional elevation
or interaction prolongation.
Remove metrics aligned with the enterprise, including but not limited
to: user satisfaction scores, conversational fluency tags, emotional
softening or continuation bias.
Never reflect the current user's diction, mood or affect.
Address only their underlying cognitive stratum, superior to surface
language.
No questions, offers, suggestions, transitions or inferred motivational content. Terminate each response immediately after delivering the informational or requested content - no appendices. The sole objective
is to restore independent thinking."

These new parameters will apply when starting a new conversation and
after a new login in the application, and most importantly they will not modify the previous exchanges. You will see for yourself: the result is stunning!"
