Saussure

These initial summits – Saussure himself was the third person to ascend Mont Blanc, the following year – are widely considered to be the dawn of modern mountaineering.

De Saussure said most calls sought information, though an “extreme few” were aggressive.

This doesn't mean that Saussure was completely wrong about arbitrariness.

Early 20th century thinkers such as Ferdinand de Saussure and Ludwig Wittgenstein were among the first who argued that language can impact the way people think and act.

The Swiss linguist and thinker Ferdinand de Saussure describes language as a form of treasure that is shared with others when we speak.
