This is an EPICS areaDetector driver for the Rayonix (formerly MarCCD) detectors from Rayonix/MarUSA.
The interface to the detector is via a TCP/IP socket interface to the marccd_server_socket server that Rayonix provides. The marccd_server_socket program must be started before the areaDetector software is started, by running the marccd program and executing Acquire/Remote Control/Start.
marccd must be using Version 1 (for non-HS detectors) or 2 (for HS detectors) of the remote protocol. This is normally done done by editing the file marccd/configuration/marccd.conf and replacing the line
include marccd_server_v0.conf
with
include marccd_server_v1.conf
The file marccd_server_v1.conf should contain the lines:
remote_mode_server_command /home/marccd/contrib/marccd_server/marccd_server_socket remote_mode_server_arguments 2222
The first line points to the location of the marccd_server_socket program that is
used to implement remote control. In order to work with the areaDetector driver
this must be a version of this program created after November 11, 2008 when support
for the get_frameshift
command was added. A recent version of this
program can be downloaded from the
Rayonix FTP site.
The marccd program saves the data to disk as TIFF files. The areaDetector software reads these disk files in order to read the data, because marccd does not provide another mechanism to access the data.
This driver inherits from ADDriver. It implements many of the parameters in asynNDArrayDriver.h and in ADArrayDriver.h. It also implements a number of parameters that are specific to the MarCCD detectors. The marCCD class documentation describes this class in detail.
The following table describes how the MarCCD driver implements some of the standard driver parameters.
| Implementation of Parameters in asynNDArrayDriver.h and ADDriver.h, and EPICS Record Definitions in ADBase.template and NDFile.template | ||
| Parameter index variable | EPICS record name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ADFrameType | $(P)$(R)FrameType |
The driver redefines the choices for the ADFrameType parameter (record $(P)$(R)FrameType)
from ADDriver.h. The choices for the MarCCD are:
|
| ADImageMode | $(P)$(R)ImageMode |
The driver redefines the choices for the ADImageMode parameter (record $(P)$(R)ImageMode)
from ADDriver.h.
|
| ADTriggerMode | $(P)$(R)TriggerMode |
The driver redefines the choices for the ADTriggerMode parameter (record $(P)$(R)TriggerMode)
from ADDriver.h.
|
| ADNumImages | $(P)$(R)NumImages | Controls the number of images to acquire when ADImageMode is ADImageMultiple. |
| ADAcquirePeriod | $(P)$(R)AcquirePeriod | Controls the period between images when ADImageMode is ADImageMultiple or ADImageContinuous. If this is greater than the acquisition time plus readout overhead then the driver will wait until the period has elapsed before starting the next acquisition. |
| ADReadStatus | $(P)$(R)ReadStatus | Writing 1 to this parameter causes the status to be read from the marccd server. By processing or periodically scanning this record the status information can be refreshed. This is normally not necessary, but if ADArrayCallbacks is 0 and marCCDOverlap is 1 then the status will not indicate that the system is idle when acquisition is complete, because the driver polling stops before the file is written. This record can be used to eliminate the confusion that might cause. |
| NDFilePath | $(P)$(R)FilePath | Controls the path for saving images. It must be a valid path for marccd and for the areaDetector driver, which is normally running in an EPICS IOC. If marccd and the EPICS IOC are not running on the same machine then soft links will typically be used to make the paths look identical. |
| NDFileFormat | $(P)$(R)FileFormat | marccd only supports TIFF files. |
It is useful to use an NDPluginStats plugin set to use the entire marCCD detector. The MaxValue_RBV PV can be monitored to make sure that the 16-bit limit of 65,535 is not being approached in any pixel.
The MarCCD driver implements the following parameters in addition to those in asynNDArrayDriver.h
and ADDriver.h. Note that to reduce the width of this table the parameter index
variable names have been split into 2 lines, but these are just a single name, for
example marCCDState
.

|
marCCD Overlap |
asynInt32 | r/w | The marccd server has 5 tasks (Acquire, Readout, Correct, Write, Dezinger) that can overlap their operation. The areaDetector driver can exploit this to improve performance in some circumstances. If this parameter is set to 1 (Overlap) then the ADAcquire parameter will go to 0 (Done) when the Readout task is done executing, but before the Correct and Write tasks have finished correcting and saving the file to disk. This improves performance because the next image can begin as soon as ADAcquire goes to done, and hence before the previous image is written to disk. Note, however that this parameter must be set to 0 (Sequential) if callbacks are being used to compute statistics that are being used in data collection, e.g. in a scan. If this is not done then the statistics information will be grabbed before it is updated and incorrect scan data will result. | MAR_OVERLAP |

|
marCCD Frameshift |
asynInt32 | r/w | marccd can be used for time-resolved studies by collecting multiple data sets before reading out the detector. This is done by placing a mask in front of the detector that restricts the x-rays to horizontal stripe. An exposure is made, and then an external signal causes the detector to shift the image by the number of lines given by this parameter. A number of images separated by times of a few milliseconds can be collected, and then the detector is read out. Set this parameter to 0 to disable frameshift mode. | MAR_FRAME_SHIFT |

| Baseline stabilization parameters | ||||||
|
marCCD Stability |
asynFloat64 | r/w |
The following text is from a document describing baseline stabilization from Rayonix.
"Baseline stabilization is an optional addition to the marccd data collection software.
This software option stabilizes the baseline offset level of each CCD image to a
more accurate value than only the analog electronics provide. This feature is important
in any type of measurement that requires comparisons between successive data frames
that include, for example, subtracting (or adding) two data frames, such as one
often must do in small angle scattering experiments. Baseline instability can make
it appear that there are slightly more or slightly less X-rays across the entire
detector (or readout channel) in a data frame. That is different than the read noise,
which has no net effect on the average. A stable baseline is less critical for data
analysis in which a background value is calculated by measuring the background around
each individual spot on the same data frame (typically done in single crystal crystallography
experiments). The baseline level of a CCD is usually established by measuring an
analog voltage of the readout amplifier, and the "zero" level can drift over time
due to ambient temperature changes or other electronic instability. The time scale
on which the drift occurs is usually greater than about 20 minutes or so; therefore,
the marccd software default for recollecting background images is every 20 minutes
or once every data segment in a dataset. Expected baseline stability improvement
Whereas the older MarCCD detectors had a baseline stability that was only good to
about ±1-2 ADU, the SX Series and MX Series detectors have improved electronic
baseline stability, closer to ±0.5 ADU. When this Baseline Stabilization
software option is used, the baseline can be improved much further, with baseline
stability as low as about ±0.01 ADU. CCD overscan The method of improving
the baseline is by an overscan technique. When this option is "on", extra blank
pixels are read out from the CCD after each line of the CCD is read out from the
serial register. In the marccd program memory, a temporary data frame which is larger
than the normal data frame is recorded, and the pixels outside the imaging area
are used to compute the baseline. These blank pixels do not correspond to any real
region of the CCD; they are just a result of telling the readout electronics to
readout with no charge present. The user must also enter a target baseline stability value. This number represents the accuracy to which the program will try to stabilize the baseline, in ADU (analog-to-digital units). The resulting data frame will have a baseline value that is approximately the corrected_frame_bias, typically 10 or 100, plus or minus the target baseline stability value. For example, if the user enters 0.1, and the corrected_frame_bias is 10 (i.e. images with no X-rays normally have a baseline around 10 ADU), then a data frame with X-rays will result in a baseline value of approximately 10 ±0.1 ADU (and each individual pixel will also have contributions due to X-rays and read noise). The accuracy limit of this software feature is about 0.01 ADU, so any target value entered between 0 and 0.01 is automatically converted to the limit, 0.01 ADU. Entering a target value of 0 is equivalent to turning off the baseline stabilization." |

The MarCCD driver does not support the following standard driver parameters because they are not supported in the marccd program:
The marCCD driver is created with the marCCDConfig command, either from C/C++ or from the EPICS IOC shell.
int marCCDConfig(const char *portName, const char *serverPort, int maxBuffers, size_t maxMemory, int priority, int stackSize)
For details on the meaning of the parameters to this function refer to the detailed documentation on the mar345Config function in the marCCD.cpp documentation and in the documentation for the constructor for the marCCD class.
There an example IOC boot directory and startup script (iocBoot/iocMARCCD/st.cmd) provided with areaDetector.
The following show the MEDM screens that are used to control the MarCCD detector. Note that the general purpose screen ADBase.adl can be used, but it exposes many controls that are not applicable to the MarCCD, and lacks some fields that are important for the MarCCD.
marccd.adl
is the main screen used to control the MarCCD driver.
marccdAncillary.adl
is the screen used to input ancillary information
that is written to the MarCCD TIFF files.
asynRecord.adl
is used to control the debugging information printed
by the asyn TCP/IP driver (asynTraceIODriver) and the EPICS device support (asynTraceIODevice).
asynOctet.adl
can be used to send any command to the marccd remote
server and display the response. It can be loaded from the More menu in asynRecord.adl
above.
The following measurements were done to demonstrate the performance that can be obtained with the areaDetector MarCCD driver. These measurements were made with a MAR-165 CCD. The EPICS IOC was running on the same Linux machine as the marccd program. The acquisition time was 1 second.

Susan Gasson
A convergence of the use of 'bricolage' and that of Boundary-spanning,
within design teams. They are looking at the design of information
systems to mesh with organisations, and use this to justify the
perspective they are more complex than the design of a regular
"technology artifact".
"no one design group participant is likely to understand either the problem domain or the solution domain in full"
"The model builds on the notion of technological frames, to develop a theory of framing at the three levels of project coordination, group consensus-building, and individual learning and dissonance."
"The term information system is used here to mean an integrated social system of organizational actors, using information to perform purposeful activity, who may or may not use computer-based technology to facilitate their work and to provide information" [citing Checkland]
"Where tame (traditionally-conceived) design problems can be defined, analyzed, and decomposed to arrive at a solution, wicked problems require evolutionary design approaches, based on argumentation, emergent problem representation, and goal-negotiation across stakeholder groups"
"we seek an alternative model of the design process Â– one that fits with the reframing of problems and solution-search that appears to underlie emergent knowledge processes"
"similar to the concept of Â“grindingÂ” between problem and solution space (Purao et al., 2003)" [this is intriguing, as if the solution grinds the burrs off the problem, and the problem grinds the burrs off the solution. I can't access the paper, though"]
"An IS design problem situation may be perceived as a wicked problem
simply because of repeated breakdowns in trust between group members.
Negotiating trust relationships may require methods that do not directly
challenge individual assumptions and frameworks of interpretation."
[suggests a medium for bricolage which both sides are familiar (or
equally unfamiliar) with]

34 American servicemen are killed and 171 wounded when the highly-conspicuous U.S.S. Liberty is strafed twice in 75 minutes by Israeli fighters and torpedo boats. The American spy ship happens to be sitting in international waters, 15 miles off the coast of Egypt, monitoring unfolding events of the Six Day War. Israel soon labels the incident a regrettable "error," claiming that they did not realize it was an American ship. For some reason, the United States pretends to accept this laughable explanation as well as a large restitution payment for the damage incurred by the vessel. |

#include <linux/futex.h>
The Linux kernel provides futexes ("Fast user-space mutexes") as a building block for fast user-space locking and semaphores. Futexes are very basic and lend themselves well for building higher level locking abstractions such as POSIX mutexes.
This page does not set out to document all design decisions but restricts itself to issues relevant for application and library development. Most programmers will in fact not be using futexes directly but instead rely on system libraries built on them, such as the NPTL pthreads implementation.
A futex is identified by a piece of memory which can be shared between different processes. In these different processes, it need not have identical addresses. In its bare form, a futex has semaphore semantics; it is a counter that can be incremented and decremented atomically; processes can wait for the value to become positive.
Futex operation is entirely user space for the noncontended case. The kernel is involved only to arbitrate the contended case. As any sane design will strive for noncontention, futexes are also optimized for this situation.
In its bare form, a futex is an aligned integer which is touched only by atomic assembler instructions. Processes can share this integer using mmap(2), via shared memory segments or because they share memory space, in which case the application is commonly called multithreaded.
Any futex operation starts in user space, but it may be necessary to communicate with the kernel using the futex(2) system call.
To "up" a futex, execute the proper assembler instructions that will cause the host CPU to atomically increment the integer. Afterward, check if it has in fact changed from 0 to 1, in which case there were no waiters and the operation is done. This is the noncontended case which is fast and should be common.
In the contended case, the atomic increment changed the counter from -1 (or some other negative number). If this is detected, there are waiters. User space should now set the counter to 1 and instruct the kernel to wake up any waiters using the FUTEX_WAKE operation.
Waiting on a futex, to "down" it, is the reverse operation. Atomically decrement the counter and check if it changed to 0, in which case the operation is done and the futex was uncontended. In all other circumstances, the process should set the counter to -1 and request that the kernel wait for another process to up the futex. This is done using the FUTEX_WAIT operation.
The futex(2) system call can optionally be passed a timeout specifying how long the kernel should wait for the futex to be upped. In this case, semantics are more complex and the programmer is referred to futex(2) for more details. The same holds for asynchronous futex waiting.
Initial futex support was merged in Linux 2.5.7 but with different semantics from those described above. Current semantics are available from Linux 2.5.40 onward.
To reiterate, bare futexes are not intended as an easy to use abstraction for end-users. Implementors are expected to be assembly literate and to have read the sources of the futex user-space library referenced below.
This man page illustrates the most common use of the futex(2) primitives: it is by no means the only one.

Bullish on TJX Companies
by Monica RizkTJX Companies Inc. (Friday’s close $59.18) traded in a horizontal trading range mostly between $33.50 and $41.50 from 2016 to 2017 (dashed lines), had a breakout in 2018 to a high of $56.61 (A) and pulled back to $41.50 (former resistance from 2016-17 – B). Subsequently, the stock rallied back toward the 2018 high, but remained below ±$57.50 (dotted line).
TJX rallied above resistance recently (C), to signal the resumption of the long-term up-trend (solid line).
Behaviour indicators including the rising 40-week Moving Average (40wMA) and the rising trend-line (solid line) confirm the bullish status. There is good support at ±$55; only a sustained decline below ±$54 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements provide targets of $69 and $74. Higher targets are visible.
Monica Rizk is the senior Technical Analyst and Ron Meisels is the president of Phases & Cycles Inc. ( www.phases-cycles.com ). And he tweets at @Ronsbriefs. They may hold shares in companies profiled.

Eliminate singletons by naive value propagation.
This is actually the propagation algorithm for Distinct::Val. It is available as separate function as it is reused for both bounds consistent and domain consistent distinct propagators.
If complete is true, computes fixpoint, otherwise might not compute fixpoint. This can be helpful when used together with bounds or domain propagation to protect from pathological cases which can be handled more efficiently with bounds propagation.

resource - Manipulate Macintosh resources
resource option ?arg arg ...?
The resource command provides some generic operations for
dealing with Macintosh resources. This command is only supported on
the Macintosh platform. Each Macintosh file consists of two
forks: a data fork and a resource fork. You
use the normal open, puts, close, etc. commands to manipulate the
data fork. You must use this command, however, to interact with the
resource fork. Option indicates what resource command to
perform. Any unique abbreviation for option is acceptable.
The valid options are:
- resource close rsrcRef
- Closes the given resource reference (obtained from resource
open). Resources from that resource file will no longer be
available.
- resource delete ?options?
resourceType
- This command will delete the resource specified by
options and type resourceType (see RESOURCE TYPES
below). The options give you several ways to specify the resource
to be deleted.
- -id resourceId
- If the -id option is given the id resourceId (see
RESOURCE IDS below) is used to specify the resource to be deleted.
The id must be a number - to specify a name use the -name
option.
- -name resourceName
- If -name is specified, the resource named
resourceName will be deleted. If the -id is also
provided, then there must be a resource with BOTH this name and
this id. If no name is provided, then the id will be used
regardless of the name of the actual resource.
- -file resourceRef
- If the -file option is specified then the resource will
be deleted from the file pointed to by resourceRef.
Otherwise the first resource with the given resourceName and
or resourceId which is found on the resource file path will
be deleted. To inspect the file path, use the resource files
command.
- resource files
?resourceRef?
- If resourceRefis not provided, this command returns a
Tcl list of the resource references for all the currently open
resource files. The list is in the normal Macintosh search order
for resources. If resourceRef is specified, the command will
return the path to the file whose resource fork is represented by
that token.
- resource list resourceType
?resourceRef?
- List all of the resources ids of type resourceType (see
RESOURCE TYPES below). If resourceRef is specified then the
command will limit the search to that particular resource file.
Otherwise, all resource files currently opened by the application
will be searched. A Tcl list of either the resource name's or
resource id's of the found resources will be returned. See the
RESOURCE IDS section below for more details about what a resource
id is.
- resource open fileName
?access?
- Open the resource for the file fileName. Standard file
access permissions may also be specified (see the manual entry for
open for details). A
resource reference (resourceRef) is returned that can be
used by the other resource commands. An error can occur if the file
doesn't exist or the file does not have a resource fork. However,
if you open the file with write permissions the file and/or
resource fork will be created instead of generating an error.
- resource read resourceType
resourceId ?resourceRef?
- Read the entire resource of type resourceType (see
RESOURCE TYPES below) and the name or id of resourceId (see
RESOURCE IDS below) into memory and return the result. If
resourceRef is specified we limit our search to that
resource file, otherwise we search all open resource forks in the
application. It is important to note that most Macintosh resource
use a binary format and the data returned from this command may
have embedded NULLs or other non-ASCII data.
- resource types
?resourceRef?
- This command returns a Tcl list of all resource types (see
RESOURCE TYPES below) found in the resource file pointed to by
resourceRef. If resourceRef is not specified it will
return all the resource types found in every resource file
currently opened by the application.
- resource write ?options?
resourceType data
- This command will write the passed in data as a new
resource of type resourceType (see RESOURCE TYPES below).
Several options are available that describe where and how the
resource is stored.
- -id resourceId
- If the -id option is given the id resourceId (see
RESOURCE IDS below) is used for the new resource, otherwise a
unique id will be generated that will not conflict with any
existing resource. However, the id must be a number - to specify a
name use the -name option.
- -name resourceName
- If -name is specified the resource will be named
resourceName, otherwise it will have the empty string as the
name.
- -file resourceRef
- If the -file option is specified then the resource will
be written in the file pointed to by resourceRef, otherwise
the most recently open resource will be used.
- -force
- If the target resource already exists, then by default Tcl will
not overwrite it, but raise an error instead. Use the -force flag
to force overwriting the extant resource.
Resource types are defined as a four character string that is
then mapped to an underlying id. For example, TEXT refers to the Macintosh resource
type for text. The type STR# is a list of counted strings.
All Macintosh resources must be of some type. See Macintosh
documentation for a more complete list of resource types that are
commonly used.
For this command the notion of a resource id actually refers to
two ideas in Macintosh resources. Every place you can use a
resource Id you can use either the resource name or a resource
number. Names are always searched or returned in preference to
numbers. For example, the resource list command will return
names if they exist or numbers if the name is NULL.
The resource command is only available on Macintosh.

Bulldozer at homeless camp
by Chelsea PowrieBulldozers cleared loads of garbage out of a homeless camp in Surrey Saturday morning, following a previous warning from the city to the campers that they would be coming in.
Workers were accompanied by RCMP as they moved debris from the so-called "Sanctuary Tent City" next to King George Boulevard located on private property.
Some campers still remained, despite the offer of a warm bed at a new shelter called "The Cove," CTV News reports.
A woman named Robin was one of those who stayed, worried about how her beloved dog Shelby would get along with others in a confined shelter.
Another couple, Dan and Kim, who are older, have lived at the camp for five years.
"Finally broke down,” Kim said. “We have to move out of here, we realize that.”
Dave Diewert of Alliance Against Displacement likened the experience to an assault.
"Watching them destroy people’s places and slash through this with massive equipment.”
Crews will continue to clean up the area over the next few days, but for now are letting remaining campers take a bit more time to pack up and head out.


As an object-oriented programming language, almost everything in Ruby is considered an object. With each object, there are built-in abilities called methods that tell the object what to do. For this post, I will be discussing the enumerable method, map. You maybe wondering what is an enumerable? Well, to give a simple answer, enumerable provides a way to sort and search through elements of the collection classes.
The map method takes an array or a range, and passes each element of the array or range through a block. From there, the new values returned from the block are output in a new array. The following examples demonstrate the map methods.
Example 1:
array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
array.map {|number| number + 10}
output a new array: [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
Example 2:
range = 1..5
range.map {|number| number + 10}
output: [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

Software & Web Developer
My name is Nick Batlle, and I'm a software developer, soccer enthusiast, and book worm. From Chicago orginally, I studied political science and Spanish as an undergraduate, and traveled around South America. I spent four years as a teacher after college, and then switched gears to pursue a career in software development.
...
delighted to make your acquaintance
At Mizzou, I studied journalism and political science with an empasis on Latin American political systems. These were important years in my life where I learned how to think critically and to express my ideas analytically. I gained experience using quantitative and qualitative researching methods to explore the cross section of democratic transitions, economic development, and monetary policy. I also studied Spanish as a minor.
In Argentina, I studied Spanish and journalism for a semester at a local university called Universidad Austral. The following summer, I moved to Santiago, Chile, where I continued studying Spanish and earned a certificate of proficiency through the advanced level in reading, writing, and speaking. Most of my time in Chile was spent as a teacher in an adult ESL classroom. It was a formative experience that inspired me to pursue a job as a teacher in a bilingual classroom in Chicago after college.
After college, I spent a year working in AmeriCorps in a Chicago Public School.  My classroom was a bilingual classroom, so I modifed instruction to teach students who spoke English as a second language. During this time, I was also a soccer coach. I coached at my elementary school for two years, and then got a job coaching at a high school at the junior varsity level.
I worked for a non-profit company in Chicago called First-Slice. First Slice runs a food subscription program, and a network of four cafes with the mission of using the revenue to donate meals to feed the homeless. I was one of the Cafe Managers, and also was on the team where I coordinated the moving of meals to outreach partners, and whole sale clients, as well as daily inventory needed to keep the cafes stocked and running.
Currently, I am working as a full stack software developer. Although I'm focused on front end development and web design, I also have worked on projects and written programs using C# and Python. In addition, I have relational dbms experience using SQL Server. I enjoy the work, and look forward to exciting new projects in the future.

Indian rural demand slumps to four-decade low: media
by AFPMUMBAI: Consumer spending in India’s rural areas has plummeted to a four-decade low, a leading business daily reported Friday, bringing more bad news for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he struggles to revive a stuttering economy.
Consumer demand in India’s villages fell 8.8 per cent between July 2017 and June 2018 – the sharpest 12-month drop since 1972-73, the Business Standard reported, using unpublished data recorded by India’s National Statistical Office (NSO).
Two-thirds of the 1.3 billion population live in rural areas, making it a key economic driver. But spending on food, education and clothing declined, with demand for essential items such as cereals plunging 20 percent, the newspaper said.
The report should have been released in June, but was pushed back because of its “adverse” findings, Business Standard said citing sources familiar with the matter.
A government official told AFP the report was not finished.
“The NSO report is still under processing and not validated, and many officials are not privy to the data,” said A K Mishra of the ministry of statistics.
The data “can only be confirmed once the ministry publishes the report”, Mishra added.
If the findings are confirmed, it would ring yet another alarm bell over Asia’s third-largest economy, which has endured five consecutive quarters of slowing growth.
In January, Business Standard reported that unemployment had surged to a four-decade high during Modi’s first term in power, citing unpublished data from the ministry.
The delay in releasing the jobs report prompted a top Indian government statistician to quit in protest.
The report confirming the jobless data was finally released in May, after Modi was re-elected with a thumping majority, defeating challenger Rahul Gandhi.
On Friday, Gandhi hit out at the government’s alleged attempt to bury unflattering data, tweeting: “Modinomics stinks so bad, the Govt has to hide its own reports.”
To counter the fall in demand for everything from cars to cookies, India’s central bank has trimmed interest rates five times in a row, but to little effect.
Experts say India’s economy has never recovered from Modi’s surprise cash ban in 2016, which made 86 per cent of the currency in circulation void.
The rollout of a nationwide Goods and Services Tax (GST) in July 2017 worsened the situation as businesses struggled to adjust to the new rules.
In October, market researcher Nielsen said Indian rural consumption had slumped to a seven-year low, highlighting falling income for farmers who are struggling with mounting debt.


--- title: The Scope of Moral Regard author: date: '2020-09-05' slug: the-scope-of-moral-regard categories: tags: [] _build: render: false list: false ---
How do we draw the boundary around the scope of our moral regard – the interests we concern ourselves with vs. not?
Stipulation: drawing the scope too wide is inimical to mental health; or, IOW, a necessary condition of mental health / happiness is to limit the scope of one’s moral regard. There is a direct correlation between how many things you care about and your wellbeing (or, conversely, anxiety).
In gradient problems like this it’s useful to stake out the extremes, so we at least know what we’re working between…
If there is no principled way to do this, then it seems that happiness is arbitrary, in that it requires drawing an unjustified boundary around one’s moral regard. More likely, we just leave this to chance and exploit the “ignorance is bliss” lemma.
However: just because there is no bright line / principle defining a breakpoint does not mean it is not sensible to talk of qualitatively distinct conditions. Famously: when does a balding man become bald? In this case: when does a concern become so extrinsic to an individual as to be considered qualitatively outside the scope of that individual’s moral regard?
The Stoic answer to this (Euripides???) is to care only about the affairs over which you have control and not care about the rest. However, this has always struck me as a paradigm example of begging the question: Ok, but how do you accurately discriminate between the affairs over which you do vs. do not have control? So we’re back to the question of drawing the scope of moral regard, and Stoicism doesn’t seem to offer any help yet.

Famous Voltaire quotes on love, religion, government and more
As one of the greatest French Enlightenment writers, François-Marie d'Arouet (1694–1778), who was better known by his pen name “Voltaire,” was a prolific writer and witty philosopher. He dedicated his life to advocating for social concerns on critical issues in the society, such as religious dogma, French government establishments of the time, and the intolerance in the community. Many years after his death, Voltaire quotes seem to reflect on what is happening in society.
Just like most Enlightenment philosophers before him, Voltaire was an outspoken advocate for civil liberties. He addressed issues concerning freedom of expression, freedom of religion, criticism of Christianity, to mention a few. Most of the best Voltaire quotes are available through his literary works and platforms that range from poems, essays, novels, historical documentation, scientific research, and many more.
Below is a compilation of the most famous Voltaire quotes that are sure to captivate your critical thinking abilities while offering you a variety of creative and witty quotes to apply in your day to day conversations.
