Eichmann was not lago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III “to prove a villain.” Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had … Continue reading →

Das Böse in uns: Die Verbindung zur Dummheit
Bonhoeffer erkannte, dass das Böse oft aus #Dummheit entsteht – und nicht aus bewusster Bosheit. Menschen, die nicht reflektieren und keine https://bit.ly/42A1bwC #Bewusstsein #Bonhoeffer #DietrichBonhoeffer #Entscheidung #psychotHHerapie -
On April 9, 1945, #DietrichBonhoeffer was executed by a system that could not tolerate dissent. What does this reveal about the stability of orders that rely on fear alone? Extreme case: the price of truth can be a human life. The cost of absolute integrity in times of transition. 🖖

Am 9. April 1945 wurde #DietrichBonhoeffer RIP von einem #System getötet, das keinen Widerspruch ertragen konnte … was sagt das über die Stabilität von Ordnungen, die nur durch Angst bestehen? #MutZurWahrheit … #Extremfall Preis des Lebens. Der Preis der absoluten Integrität in Schwellenzeiten.🖖

Zum heutigen Geburtstag von #DietrichBonhoeffer … Dein Leben erinnert uns daran, dass Wahrheit ohne Mut leer ist … und Mut ohne Gewissen blind. Du hast gezeigt, dass Verantwortung dort beginnt, wo Denken ins Handeln übergeht, selbst wenn der Preis das eigene Leben ist. Ich danke Dir Dietrich! 🖖

:bluebirdroll: Dietrich Bonhoeffer fue un teólogo y filósofo alemán que se convirtió en una figura clave de la resistencia contra el nazismo.
No era un teórico de despacho; el tío tuvo el valor de oponerse directamente al régimen de Hitler, lo que finalmente le costó la vida.En su famoso texto sobre la Teoría de la Estupidez, Bonhoeffer analiza cómo sociedades enteras pueden llegar a comportarse de forma irracional y peligrosa.
Para él, la estupidez no tiene nada que ver con el cociente intelectual, sino con una renuncia moral a pensar por uno mismo para dejarse llevar por la masa o el poder de turno.
Básicamente, explicaba que es mucho más difícil luchar contra un tonto convencido que contra alguien malvado, porque el tonto ni escucha razones ni siente que esté haciendo nada malo.—•—•—•—•—

“Against #stupidity we are defenseless. The stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one.”

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Habe zum gestrigen #WelttagdesBuches und zur Erinnerung an #DietrichBonhoeffer gebloggt. Ich glaube auch als Blogger und Podcaster, dass wir das Kulturgut #Buch unbedingt in jedem #Medienmix erhalten sollten, da es ein unverzichtbares Medium der #Erinnerung, #Reflexion und der dialogischen „Weite der #Zeit“ ist. Jedes gute Buch ist ein Stück geistige #Freiheit. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/der-lesende-widerstand-gegen-die-digitale-gegenwartsexpansion-gedanken-zum-welttag-des-buches/

“We are horrified to see how the legacy of #DietrichBonhoeffer is increasingly being distorted and misused by right-wing extremists, xenophobes and religious agitators… Never would he have seen himself associated with far-right, violent movements such as Christian nationalists and others who are trying to appropriate him today.”

Danke & ja: Ich meine, das hat sogar schon begonnen. So breitet sich die #Dualismus - These des jüdischen Religionsgelehrten Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (1948 - 2020) derzeit ebenso aus wie die #Dummheit - These des evangelischen Theologen Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 - 1945). Immer mehr Menschen haben die Flachheit der säkularen Gegenwartinflation satt & schauen neu nach Tiefe. Es passiert bereits. #RabbiSacks #DietrichBonhoeffer https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/ist-dummheit-gefaehrlicher-als-bosheit-dietrich-bonhoeffer-1906-1945-hatte-recht/

Das sah #DietrichBonhoeffer ganz genau so. "#Dummheit ist gefährlicher als #Bosheit.", sagte er. Gestern war der 80. Jahrestag seiner Ermordung durch den NS. Habe dazu nachdenklich und auch ein wenig fassungslos gebloggt: https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/ist-dummheit-gefaehrlicher-als-bosheit-dietrich-bonhoeffer-1906-1945-hatte-recht/

When #DietrichBonhoeffer, a German Pastor, Theorized How #Stupidity Enabled the Rise of the #Nazis (1942)
in History, Politics | March 26th, 2025
"Two days after Adolf #Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, the Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer took to the airwaves. Before his radio broadcast was cut off, he warned his countrymen that their führer could well be a verführer, or misleader. Bonhoeffer’s anti-Nazism lasted until the end of his life in 1945, when he was executed by the regime for association with the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Even while imprisoned, he kept thinking about the origins of the political mania that had overtaken Germany. The force of central importance to Hitler’s rise was not evil, he concluded, but stupidity.
"'Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice,' Bonhoeffer wrote in a letter to his co-conspirators on the tenth anniversary of Hitler’s accession to the chancellorship. 'One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless.' When provoked, 'the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.'
"Fighting stupidity, to Bonhoeffer’s mind, first necessitates understanding it. 'In essence not an intellectual defect but a human one,' stupidity can descend upon practically anyone: 'under certain circumstances, people are made stupid or that they allow this to happen to them.' And it happens most noticeably when a particular figure or movement seizes the attention of the public. 'Every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity,' he writes. Since such phenomena could hardly arise without blindly obedient masses, it seems that 'the power of the one needs the stupidity of the other.'
"You can see Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity explained in the illustrated Sprouts video above, and you can learn more about the man himself from the documentary Bonhoeffer. Or, better yet, read his collection, Letters and Papers from Prison. Though rooted in his time, culture, and religion, his thought remains relevant wherever humans follow the crowd. 'The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent,' he writes, which held as true in the public squares of wartime Europe as it does on the social-media platforms of today. 'In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like, that have taken possession of him.' Whatever would surprise Bonhoeffer about our time, he would know exactly what we mean when we call stupid people 'tools.'"

There are many heroes from WWII, and whenever I come across a name I’ve never heard of, I always like to publicise it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A pastor and devoted Lutheran Christian who opposed the Nazi regime and simply wanted peace. Unfortunately, this kind and heroic man paid the ultimate price for his beliefs…
