Bio
Just hanging out in the no-ship with Miles, Sheeana, Scytale, some Bene Gesserit, and some Jews.

Some Wisdom:

"The difference between a good administrator and a bad one is about five heartbeats. Good administrators make immediate choices."
"Acceptable choices?"
"They usually can be made to work. A bad administrator, on the other hand, hesitates, diddles around, asks for committees, for research and reports. Eventually, he acts in ways which create serious problems."
"But don't they sometimes need more information to make. . .
"A bad administrator is more concerned with reports than with decisions. He wants the hard record which he can display as an excuse for his errors."
"And good administrators?"
"Oh, they depend on verbal orders. They never lie about what they've done if their verbal orders cause problems, and they surround themselves with people able to act wisely on the basis of verbal orders. Often, the most important piece of information is that something has gone wrong. Bad administrators hide their mistakes until it's too late to make corrections."

Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired. This has long been the barrier to science assuming a mantle of divine revelation. Science is so obviously manmade. Fanatics (and many are fanatic on one subject or another) must know where you stand, but more important, must recognize who whispers in your ear.
