Skepticism is the first step on the road to philosophy

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Det var inte bara Pex Tufvesons tekniska briljans; folk beundrade hans djärvhet, hans vägran att ta saker på allvar och hans lekfulla trollande av etablissemanget. Morals are in all countries the result of legislation and government; they are not African or Asian or European: they are good or bad.
