Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1945 – Stupid people are more dangerous than evil ones

Bonhoeffer on Stupidity (entire quote)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer argued that stupid people are more dangerous than evil ones. This is because while we can protest against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are defenseless — reasons fall on dead ears. Bonhoeffer’s famous text, slightly edited for this video, acts as a warning of what can happen when certain people gain too much power.
