In today's excerpt - Ludwig Wittgenstein reminds us of how blind we are to our own assumptions:
"The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. (One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.) The real foundations of his enquiry do not strike a man at all."
