Q. What is your opinion on extremely intelligent people that commit crimes?-……… "When this was said, Purana Kassapa said to me, 'Great king, in acting or getting others to act, in mutilating or getting others to mutilate, in torturing or getting others to torture, in inflicting sorrow or in getting others to inflict sorrow, in tormenting or getting others to torment, in intimidating or getting others to intimidate, in taking life, taking what is not given, breaking into houses, plundering wealth, committing burglary, ambushing highways, committing adultery, speaking falsehood — one does no evil. If with a razor-edged disk one were to turn all the living beings on this earth to a single heap of flesh, a single pile of flesh, there would be no evil from that cause, no coming of evil. Even if one were to go along the right bank of the Ganges, killing and getting others to kill, mutilating and getting others to mutilate, torturing and getting others to torture, there would be no evil from that cause, no coming of evil. Even if one were to go along the left bank of the Ganges, giving and getting others to give, making sacrifices and getting others to make sacrifices, there would be no merit from that cause, no coming of merit. Through generosity, self-control, restraint, and truthful speech there is no merit from that cause, no coming of merit.'From http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/Samannaphala_Sutta--There is no correlation between intelligence and morality. Among the moral people, some are intelligent and some are not so intelligent. Likewise, among the immoral people, some are intelligent and some are not so intelligent too. But for a society to be successful and develop for a long time, it needs intelligent, moral people and that society needs to encourage its people by rewarding the people who are able and to discourage them not to do illegal things by effective rule of laws. In other words, a society with meritocracy and effective rule of order will become advanced and developed wealthy one in long term.-When a society makes wealth, fame, success as goal of life, some people prefer those who achieve that goal by lying (wise, immoral) without getting caught.--For example,1. The Marshmallow TestThe Stanford marshmallow experiment was a series of studies on delayed gratification in the late 1960s and early 1970s led by psychologist Walter Mischel, then a professor at Stanford University. In these studies, a child was offered a choice between one small reward provided immediately or two small rewards if they waited for a short period, approximately 15 minutes, during which the tester left the room and then returned. (The reward was sometimes a marshmallow, but often a cookie or a pretzel.) In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures.From https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment-2. The Marshmallow TestRobertoWhen we designed the experiment in the 1960s we did not film the children. But twenty years later, to record the Marshmallow Test procedure and to illustrate the diverse strategies children use as they try to wait for their treats, my former postdoc Monica L. Rodriguez filmed five- to six-year-olds with a hidden camera in a public school in Chile. Monica followed the same procedure we had used in the original experiments.Monica gave the same instructions to “Roberto,” a neatly dressed six-year-old with a beige school jacket, dark necktie on his white shirt, and perfectly combed hair. As soon as she left the room he cast a quick look at the door to be sure it was tightly shut. He then rapidly surveyed the cookie tray, licked his lips, and grabbed the closest treat. He cautiously opened the cookie to expose the white cream filling in its middle, and, with bent head and busy tongue, he began to lick the cream meticulously, pausing for only a second to smilingly approve his work. After licking the cookie clean, he skillfully put the two sides back together with even more obvious delight and carefully returned the filling-free cookie to the tray. He then hurried at top speed to give the remaining two cookies the identical treatment. After devouring their insides, Roberto arranged the remaining pieces on the tray to restore them to their exact original positions, and checked the scene around him, scanning the door to be sure that all was well. Like a skilled method actor, he then slowly sank his head to place his tilted chin and cheek on the open palm of his right hand, elbow resting on the desktop. He transformed his face into a look of utter innocence, his wide, trusting eyes staring expectantly at the door in childlike innocent wonder.Roberto’s performance invariably gets the most cheers and the loudest laughter and applause from every audience, including, once, a congratulatory shout from the esteemed provost of one of America’s top private universities to “get him a scholarship when he’s ready to come here!” I don’t think he was joking.Excerpt from The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control by Walter Mischel-3. The Marshmallow Test: Roberto?Robert Charles Gallo (born March 23, 1937) is an American biomedical researcher. He is best known for his role in the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as the infectious agent responsible for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and in the development of the HIV blood test, and he has been a major contributor to subsequent HIV research.From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ro...In 1989, the investigative journalist John Crewdson suggested that Gallo's lab might have misappropriated a sample of HIV isolated at the Pasteur Institute by Montagnier's group.They concluded that the virus used in Gallo's lab had come from Montagnier's lab; it was a virus from a patient that had contaminated a virus sample from another patient. On request, Montagnier's group had sent a sample of this culture to Gallo, not knowing it contained two viruses. The sample then contaminated the pooled culture on which Gallo was working. On 12 December 1985 the Institut Pasteur filed suit to challenge a patent for an HIV test that had been granted on 28 May 1985 to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In 1987, the two governments agreed to split equally the proceeds from the patent, naming Montagnier and Gallo co-discoverers. Montagnier and Gallo resumed collaborating with each other again for a chronology that appeared in Nature in 1987.In 2008, Montagnier and his colleague Françoise Barré-Sinoussi from the Institut Pasteur were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on the discovery of HIV. Harald zur Hausen also shared the Prize for his discovery that human papilloma viruses lead to cervical cancer,[35] but Gallo was left out.From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gallo--Gallo Admits French Discovered Aids VirusMay 30, 1991|By John Crewdson, Chicago Tribune.WASHINGTON — A controversial piece of scientific history will be officially rewritten this week, with the publication of an acknowledgment by Dr. Robert C. Gallo that the AIDS virus he claimed to have discovered in 1984 was in reality a virus sent to him from France the year before.The letter, which associates said was written at the urging of Gallo`s senior colleagues, appears to put an end to a six-year effort by Gallo and his employer, the National Institutes of Health, to claim the AIDS virus as an independent discovery.By invoking a variety of alternative explanations, Gallo had struggled to persuade the scientific community that his AIDS virus, known as HTLV-3B, was derived from an American AIDS patient and not from a virus sample sent to NIH by Pasteur scientists.Whether Gallo`s cultures became contaminated with the French virus by accident-or, as the French suggested in court, on purpose-ultimately may be resolved by the NIH investigation of his laboratory`s AIDS research.From http://articles.chicagotribune.com/…/9102180196_1_gallo-lab…-4.

He is the 1993 Elite Men's Road Race World Champion, and he had won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, but was stripped of his Tour de France victories in 2012 after a protracted doping scandal.Armstrong had been the subject of doping allegations ever since winning the 1999 Tour de France. In 2012, a United States Anti-Doping Agency investigation concluded that Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs over the course of his career and named him as the ringleader of "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen." Armstrong chose not to contest the charges, citing the potential toll on his family. As a result, he received a lifetime ban from competing in all sports that follow the World Anti-Doping Agency code—effectively ending his athletic career. He was also stripped of all of his achievements after 1998, including his seven Tour de France titles.In the aftermath of his fall from grace, a CNN article wrote that "The epic downfall of cycling's star, once an idolized icon of millions around the globe, stands out in the history of professional sports."From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La...http://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/21065539·-5.

The Marshmallow Test: Roberto?-Ghost composerA ghostwriter is a writer who writes books, manuscripts, screenplays, scripts, articles, blog posts, stories, reports, whitepapers, or other texts that are officially credited to another person.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwriter-Mamoru Samuragochi (佐村河内 守, born 21 September 1963) is a Japanese composer from Hiroshima Prefecture who falsely claimed to be totally deaf. He was the name credited for the video games Resident Evil: Dual Shock Ver. and Onimusha: Warlords. He claimed throughout his career to be deaf which led to foreign media dubbing him a "digital-age Beethoven". In February 2014, it was revealed that most of the work attributed to him over the previous 18 years had been written by Takashi Niigaki.From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamoru_Samuragochi-Takashi Niigaki (新垣 隆, born 1 September 1970) is a Japanese composer and music teacher who served as the ghostwriter for Mamoru Samuragochi for 18 years, composing musical works that included the soundtracks for Resident Evil: Dual Shock Ver. and Onimusha: Warlords. He also composed "Hiroshima Symphony No 1", previously credited to Samuragochi until February 2014 when Niigaki publicly revealed that he was the real composer.From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Niigaki-In 2012, after the “Hiroshima” symphony became a surprise hit, Samuragochi told Niigaki that the national network NHK would be shooting a documentary about him. Samuragochi was to compose a new piece for the victims of the tsunami in northern Japan, and the filmmakers would document his creative process. Samuragochi imposed one ground rule: He would not let them film him writing music. “The process is sacred,” he told the director.Since Samuragochi would have a camera crew trailing him 24/7, he asked Niigaki to send the sheet music to his house by courier using a fake name. He reminded Niigaki to use generic, unidentifiable notations and to include blank sheets of music paper, for the “before” shots. Samuragochi wrote in a text message: “It’s an important piece that is going to be played at the end of the NHK special, showing that the genius composer went through hell to compose a song for the victims.”Meanwhile, Samuragochi was pretending to go through hell. During the filming, he “met” a young girl named Minami—she was pre-screened by the producers—whose mother died in the tsunami, and dedicated the requiem to her. For inspiration, he sat alone on the beach where the girl’s mother disappeared, “so that the spirits of the victims come down to him,” according to the film’s narrator. Later, back at his house, he writhed in bed, groaned from the supposed pain of his tinnitus, swallowed dozens of white pills, and crawled around on the floor, apparently too weak to stand. Finally, Samuragochi stumbled into the living room. “It’s finished,” he said. He then disappeared into his study. Twelve hours later, he emerged with the complete score. The camera lingered over the perfectly shaped notes.From http://www.newrepublic.com/…/japans-deaf-composer-wasnt-wha…-7. The Marshmallow Test, Roberto?From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_HolmesFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood:_Secrets_and_Lies_in_a_Silicon_Valley_Startup-8. The Marshmallow Test, Roberto?-Tide of liesKai KupferschmidtScience 17 Aug 2018:Japanese bone researcher Yoshihiro Sato fabricated dozens of clinical trials before a group of researchers from the United Kingdom and New Zealand exposed the fraud. The impact of his fabricated reports—many of them on how to reduce the risk of bone fractures—rippled far and wide. Meta-analyses that included his trials came to the wrong conclusion; professional societies based medical guidelines on his papers. Following up on the faked studies, researchers carried out large new trials that had enrolled thousands of real patients. Exposing Sato's lies, correcting the literature, and tracing the effects of the fake studies has been a bruising struggle for the whistleblowers. But the sprawling fraud case has also had a massive impact on those who worked with Sato and on Sato himself.From Researcher at the center of an epic fraud remains an enigma to those who exposed him----A society with meritocracy and effective rule of order will become advanced and developed wealthy one in long term.-For example,(For every authoritarian country that has managed to grow rapidly, there are several that have floundered. For every Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, there are many like Mobutu Sese Seko of the Congo. Dani Rodrik )--Most of the leaders want to bring their nations to prosperity. But in authoritarian countries, there are many Congo-like nations for one Singapore-like nation.-If one can ask each and every leader of all authoritarian countries whether he would like his country to be like Singapore or Congo, most of the leaders will reply ‘Singapore’.-So what are the differences between the leaders of Singapore-like nation and Congo-like nation?-There are only two fundamental differences among those leaders;-The leaders of Singapore-like nation are both wise and good (intelligent enough to rule the nation to have prosperity and also morally upright).-The leaders of Congo-like nation may be good but not wise, may be wise but not good, or may be both not-wise and not-good.-Most of the leaders of the nations are not bad guys. If they are bad guys, they will not be leaders, mostly. Have you ever met a leader who wants to make his nation to become a failed state intentionally since he becomes a leader?-Each and every leader wants to leave a good name after he leaves the office, but only few of them achieve the intention.-It is not easy for a person to become a wise and good person. It is more difficult to be a good and wise leader. The leader has to make effort all the time to be wise to rule the nation to have prosperity and not to become bad (to take advantage of his position to become rich himself, not to his citizens). If not, he can become unwise and bad anytime during his life. It is very easy to be unwise and bad. There’s no need to make any effort.-So for one leader to bring prosperity to the nation, he must try to be wise and good all the time.-If a leader is good but not wise, he will not know what is good and what is bad in most of the complex affairs. Therefore, there’s a chance to make bad decision most of the time although he doesn’t mean it.-If a leader is wise but not good, there is always a chance to make for his own good rather than nation’s good in each and every minute of his office time. If he cannot control himself, he can always find loophole in his nation’s law to make for his own good.-If a leader is not good and not wise, ........... then anyone can imagine what’s the result.-There are only a few leaders who are not good and not wise.-There are some leaders who are wise but not good.-There are more leaders who are good but not wise enough.-There are only a small amount of leaders who are both wise and good because it is too difficult.-So it is the reason that ……….For every authoritarian country that has managed to grow rapidly, there are several that have floundered. For every Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, there are many like Mobutu Sese Seko of the Congo.-Wisdom is purified by morality, and morality is purified by wisdom: where one is, the other is, the moral man has wisdom and the wise man has morality, and the combination of morality and wisdom is called the highest thing in the world. Gotama Buddha

Q. Can morality prevent humanity from achieving the best outcome in certain situations?-The following are about the people who are not prevented by morality from achieving the best outcome (for them) in certain situations. You can decided yourself whether it is good or not.-1.

The Marshmallow Test, Roberto?-Academia Sinica head back in Taiwan to face queries on stock trading2016/04/15Taipei, April 15 (CNA) Academia Sinica President Wong Chi-huey (翁啟惠) returned to Taiwan from the United States Friday to answer questions about his controversial role in the trading of a biopharmaceutical company's stocks.Upon his arrival at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Wong again apologized for the controversy and claimed that he was not involved in insider trading or had any intention of manipulating OBI Pharma (浩鼎) shares, some of which were held in his daughter's name.Wong was expected to meet with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英久) later in the day to explain the details of the matter, which prompted him to tender his resignation March 31 while traveling abroad.His resignation was not accepted by Ma, but he urged Wong to return from official leave in the United States to shed light on a controversial sale of OBI Pharma shares just a few days before the company disclosed that its clinical tests of a new cancer drug had failed.The controversy flared up following Wong's endorsement of a new cancer drug produced by OBI Pharma, even though the drug failed a Phase 2/3 clinical trial Feb. 21, which sent the stock price plunging.Wong, a biochemist considered to be an expert on the theory behind OBI Pharma's cancer drug, issued a statement March 3 through Academia Sinica, saying that he himself did not hold any shares in Taiwanese biotech companies.On March 23, a story in Next Magazine revealed that Wong's daughter, Wong Yu-Shioh (翁郁琇), had acquired 3 million OBI Pharma shares in 2012 at a price of NT$31 per share, before the company obtained listing on the over-the-counter market at NT$310 per share the following year.The story fueled accusations against the Academia Sinica president of conflict of interest and possible insider trading. Wong later admitted that he had provided the money to fund her daughter's purchase.An initial investigation later found that Wong's daughter had sold 10,000 OBI Pharma shares three days before the announcement of the cancer drug's failure.On April 7, Wong Chi-huey issued a statement in which he said that he had sold the 10,000 shares on his daughter's behalf Feb. 18, on the advice of a stockbroker.According to Wong, he was not privy to the trial results before the shares were sold and the decision was unrelated to the results of the drug trials.On Wednesday, a legislator, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that in fact, Wong had attended a high-level meeting of OBI Pharma before the company announced the drug trial results.As part of their investigation into the case, prosecutors Friday conducted a search of seven locations, including OBI Pharma's headquarters and the resident of the company's chairman, Michael Chang (張念慈).Prosecutors are expected to summon Wong for questioning next week.(By Cheng Chih-chung, Paige Tsai and Y.F.

The Marshmallow Test, Roberto?-Tide of liesKai KupferschmidtScience 17 Aug 2018:Japanese bone researcher Yoshihiro Sato fabricated dozens of clinical trials before a group of researchers from the United Kingdom and New Zealand exposed the fraud. The impact of his fabricated reports—many of them on how to reduce the risk of bone fractures—rippled far and wide. Meta-analyses that included his trials came to the wrong conclusion; professional societies based medical guidelines on his papers. Following up on the faked studies, researchers carried out large new trials that had enrolled thousands of real patients. Exposing Sato's lies, correcting the literature, and tracing the effects of the fake studies has been a bruising struggle for the whistleblowers. But the sprawling fraud case has also had a massive impact on those who worked with Sato and on Sato himself.From Researcher at the center of an epic fraud remains an enigma to those who exposed him
