"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Linked Index To The Commentary On Dietrich Bonhoeffer On The Extreme Danger Of Obstinate Denial Of The Truth, "Stupidity"

- "one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him"

- Beyond Nodding In Agreement With What Bonhoeffer Said About German Nazis, Long Ago and Far Away

- "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"

- "the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity"
