As both capitalist and communist states – not to mention the technological world – have evolved under the illusion that men purposefully built them, ideological optimism seeps into every niche of our lives. It is made worse by mass culture which feeds our most destructive illusions, fostering the belief that if we’re only justified (and who isn’t?) – if we only calculate things correctly, if we only do the right thing (and who doesn’t?) – then the future must yield the desired results.
-Stephen Vizinczey
Quotes
