Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza 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.
Ambition and unscrupulousness have waxed so powerful, that religion is thought to consist, not so much in respecting the writings of the Holy Ghost, as in defending human commentaries, so that religion is no longer identified with charity, but with spreading discord and propagating insensate hatred disguised under the name of zeal for the Lord, and eager ardour.
