Virtuous men don't trust themselves to behave ethically in the future. Rather, they set up safeguards, that make it impossible to succumb to temptation.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A short aphorism about virtue via structural commitment devices rather than willpower — thematically resonant with AI-safety framing (corrigibility, precommitment, alignment via constraint rather than trust) though posted as general life advice.
