"Neither competence, merit, nor standards of excellence is a fashion, a preference, or a cultural construct. They are universal principles that inform what exists, what works, what endures, and what advances skills, knowledge, insights, and understanding."
"Every successful human endeavor (from the earliest stone tools to the most recent complex technologies) has been governed by the same universal laws. Universal laws are not invented; they are discovered."
"Science, engineering, mathematics, literature, music, all of the trades-in fact, every discipline that has ever elevated humanity-have done so because individuals committed themselves to the pursuit of excellence, which required meeting all standards of competence and merit."
"The moon landing was achieved only because thousands of people (with the skills, knowledge, competence, and merit-based achievements) across multiple disciplines were selected and then adhered to and applied universal truths."
Competence, merit, and standards of excellence are universal principles that govern successful human endeavors. These principles lead to advancements in skills, knowledge, and understanding. Historical achievements, such as the construction of monumental structures and advancements in medicine, were driven by rigorous application of knowledge. Every discipline that has elevated humanity has done so through a commitment to excellence, adhering to standards of competence and merit. The moon landing exemplifies this, as it was achieved through the collective efforts of skilled individuals selected based on these universal principles.
