Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what David Hume said
ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.
religion Faith as a thing a society runs on, and what has been tried in its place.
Sects of philosophy, in the ancient world, were more zealous than parties of religion; but, in modern times, parties of religion are more furious and enraged than the most cruel factions that ever arose from interest and ambition.
