There follows a quote from Henry Ford in 1929:
There is no denying the fact that life seems to be getting more complicated. But is it really? Isn’t it rather that we are asked to make decisions more rapidly than before? With our new forms of transportation and communication the whole outlook of man has changed. It is greatly enlarged. He travels more, sees more, comes into contact with more people, does more things But there is a question in my mind whether, with all this speeding up of our everyday activities, there is any more real thinking. Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. If it were possible first to teach people how to go to work to think, and then to think, there would be hope for all sorts of things. … Thinking is the work of digging to the foundation, and has the aid of higher lights. Thinking calls for facts, and facts are found by digging. He who has gathered of this wealth is well equipped for life.
