    Fate, or some mysterious force, can put the finger on you or me, for no good reason at all.

    With impressive proof on all sides of magnificent progress, no one can rightly deny the fundamental correctness of our economic system.
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Our civilization is characterized by the word “progress.” Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only as a means to this end, not as an end in itself. For me on the contrary clarity, perspicuity are valuable in themselves.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
