The status indicator reflects the current state of the work: - Abandoned: Work that has been discontinued - Notes: Initial collections of thoughts and references - Draft: Early structured version with a central thesis - In Progress: Well-developed work actively being refined - Finished: Completed work with no planned major changes This helps readers understand the maturity and completeness of the content.
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words: 1. "certain" 2. "highly likely" 3. "likely" 4. "possible" 5. "unlikely" 6. "highly unlikely" 7. "remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on: - the reader - the intended audience - the world at large For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
Let us come before the Lord and pray for the grace to resist lust and impure desires.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have allowed our thoughts and actions to be consumed by lust and sexual desire.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have objectified others and failed to see them as whole persons, created in your image.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have pursued sexual pleasure outside of the bounds of marriage, and failed to honor the covenant of love and fidelity.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have consumed pornography and other media that objectifies and exploits others for our own pleasure.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have been unfaithful to our spouses or partners, and caused pain and brokenness in our relationships.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have neglected our own emotional and spiritual needs, and sought to fulfill them through sexual pleasure.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have failed to respect the dignity and worth of our own bodies, and treated them as mere instruments of pleasure.
May we seek to imitate the purity and self-control of Christ, who was tempted in every way yet did not sin, and who taught us to honor our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
