Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Augustine of Hippo said
ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.
And to obtain such advances nothing avails but unscrupulous ambition. But unscrupulous ambition has nothing to work upon, save in a nation corrupted by avarice and luxury.
