Finished reading: The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski 📚ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1849901155 An excellent read and the most relevant quote for me is :

”… There are two parts to the human dilemma. One is the belief that the end justifies the means. That push-button philosophy, that deliberate deafness to suffering, has become the monster in the war machine. The other is the betrayal of the human spirit: the assertion of dogma that closes the mind, and turns a nation, a civilisation, into a regiment of ghosts – obedient ghosts, or tortured ghosts.“
