9. Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.

Tao Te Ching

Translated by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English

Seventeen

The very highest is barely known.
Then comes that which people know and love.
Then that which is feared,
Then that which is despised.

Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.

When actions are performed
Without unnecessary speech,
People say, "We did it!"

We should put dimdonniedipshit into a super-duper space commander space suit and strap him into the capsule and launch.

Let the aliens worry about him.
