Today's birthday, Gérard de Lacaze-Duthiers heard probably one of the more obscure figures whose thought has been here. During his lifetime, however, was the individual anarchist and radical pacifist, art theorist and sexual historian a prolific author with over 40 published books (of L'idéal humain de l'art. Essai d'esthétique libertaire a Etude sur les ceintures de Chastete ), Chairman various pacifist groups and even President of the Writers' Association, founded by George Sand Syndicat des journalistes et écrivains . Lacaze uncle was the famous zoologist Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers. Like many other French libertarians Lacaze also contributed to articles in 1934 concluded Encyclopedia anarchist Sébastien Faure von bei, wobei seine Beiträge zu den unterhaltsamsten gehören. So zum Beispiel über die menschliche folgender Eintrag dummheit:
BETIS nf
"The eternal, universal, omnipotent and indestructible stupidity" (Maupassant) is the queen of the world. She rules over individuals in absolute mistress. She runs, she does what she wants. The herd amorphous and weak guided by stupidity offers a lamentable spectacle. These people are their misfortune themselves and nothing can induce them to overcome their apathy, to reflect, learn. The effort cost them less. Encrusted in their routines, they trample on the spot. They are beasts, beasts crying. What do they have in the brain? Nothing. In the heart? Not much. Everything about them is happening in the stomach and abdomen. And again! they do not even know enjoy. In humanity, intelligent men are rare. They are faced with the stupidity that hunts, pursues slyly. Stupidity is the result of cowardice. Those who have no courage, he had to harm and as they are immensely stupid, we should expect any of them.
isolated ago stupidity and stupidity combined. It is worth. They are also harmful. It is the stupidity of the politician, the businessman, the commercialism, the judge, solicitor, warrior, priest, doctor, teacher, many others; madrée stupidity, coupled with craftiness , combinations, calculated as the stupidity, it's kind of obscure intelligence, instinct, which drives him to act when needed, to hit the right place to take advantage of circumstances. It's the stupidity practice, the most dangerous of all the nonsense, organized and unorganized. - The stupid smug swagger that enthuses about herself, and is reflected admires, appreciates his success, delighting in his troubles, stupidity satisfied with her little gestures, his incoherence, his pomposity, stupidity stinking pedants, pedants, the vain and silly, this is intolerable stupidity. However, it has its comic side: this compensates for that. - There is stupidity adorned with a veneer of science, stupidity doctoral trying to impose his titles and chamarrures, stupidity in uniform, graded, trimmed, decorated. You see it spread, lounging in the front row, parade, show off, talk, rehashing the nonsense, protesting, hand on heart, and with trembling voice, his patriotism and love of people, handing out rewards and punishments, is brainwashed, filling the other - fools applauding other fools. The stupidity that administers, which owns a parcel of authority, a piece of tape, stupidity pontificating, is peculiar to democracies as aristocracies.
individuals, taken separately, one can, with great difficulty, to reason, as soon as they are part of a crowd, their stupidity is hundredfold. There is nothing to do. The stupidity of many different individual stupidity. Aggregated, merged, fused, small make up nonsense individual against whom an inert mass of intelligence, reason and common sense come crashing. - The stupidity of the herd from which the whip, knut, the prison and the rest, crouches in front of the force, resigned, roll with the punches, receiving blows without flinching, is led to the slaughter, steal and rob , abuse, deceive, which is fighting this stupidity ... for others, thanking pay taxes, obey blindly the law and authority, kneels before the golden calf, sudden all the humiliations, all the hardships, drinks, eats, digests, wallows, vote, take a gun, goes where it leads, applauds that glitters, shimmers that all denials, every rant, insulting man it incensed yesterday, incensed that she insulted, stood up against the man who is clean, manly, human stupidity is the worst ills of mankind.
Every class, every function, every business is a tank that leaks stupidity multiforme. We find it wherever men met in all walks of life, in all groups. She hovers over the assemblies, parliamentary or not. It fits all sizes, in all situations. Nobody knows how far stupidity can lead a nation or an individual. Stupidity persists in his errors. Today, stupidity is at its peak. When you open a newspaper, it closes with disgust. What one reads nauseous.
coupling is sometimes good words and beast. Warning! This is another blunder. It is not a question of stupidity legal tradition. It is rather a stupid illegal, tolerated, with the index. The stupidity of the good man, disinterested, which is given without ulterior thought that her friends exploit, slander his enemies, this stupidity does not run the streets, it is not comparable to the wicked nonsense whose only ideal is to harm. While it is stupid in a sense, the male victim of its generosity, nobility of heart and mind. We do not know him appreciate his dedication. Person shall not operate as it is taken into mercy. What an idiot! Leave careerists. A good man is incorrigible. It will be good until his death. It does not benefit from his experience. In this case, stupidity is synonymous with weakness. Too much indulgence bordering on stupidity, let's face it. We can not forgive those who knowingly spend their time getting dirty. How to reach out to the man who has only one thought: to assassinate you? How not to treat unsuspecting person who always makes the same nonsense, lies constantly, promising this and that, and never runs? You end up bored. This is to show that stupidity to continue to attend the individual who made you that dross. It is important to remove him. Too good serves the purpose of wickedness. Let us be good people without animals. Do a disservice to the first comer. Stop being pears with those who betray us. Defend ourselves. However, it is better to be beast by dint of being good as a result of being stupid nasty. - Stupidity of kindness done is rare. This is an exception. Stupidity is the wicked rule. The evil man is always stupid, so stupid man is not always bad. The behavior of some individuals prove that they are fools. If they were smart, they would not act this way, they only want to get unbearable for everyone, only to be hated. When man does not just stupid to be stupid when it is wicked to boot, is a monster capable of anything. Look at all those in authority : Cops, judges, ministers, etc ... they're just stupid. Adding them, we would have a pyramid taller than the Himalayas! If goodness is combined sometimes stupidity, easing somewhat, wickedness never left. It is grafted on it and accentuates it. Without doubt, there are smart people, or who pass for being, whose wickedness is no doubt. But in general, and nasty beast two words are twins. Rage plain stupidity leads to unfairness. People exaggerate bad, they lost all common sense, any measure. They know not what they do, they lack tact. They are stupid, because they create unnecessary pain, doing their unhappiness at the same time as that of others. There are opportunities for criminals of all kinds are recruited among fools. The trooper laced - from the general to vulgar NCO - is the prototype of the wicked fool. The foolishness and stupidity in command obeys, so bad one than the other, are made of the same insincerity, the same helplessness, the same nothingness.
It is often said of a more or less harmful "is more stupid than evil." It is clear that poor guys do much harm by their stupidity. Within the amorphous mass there are many simple-minded (in Latin: imbecilis ) which, by the way they rave, hampering any progress. They were in the mouths of sophistry like this: "We can not live without authority ... There will always be wars ... Although it must defend itself, since it was attacked ... What would the roads, if we refused to pay taxes? ... Without police, criminals would rule ... Etc ... etc ... "The stupidity of the top corresponds to that of the bottom:" We need the rich to the poor live ... We can not spend money ... The homeland is sacred ... We must obey the laws of his country ... follow the tradition of his fathers ... Morality and religion are the foundations of society "and other platitudes too sensible. Really, stupidity can only give a sense of infinity, as Renan said.
Fools mechanically repeat what they said. Uncritical, they are unable to discern right from wrong. Their conversations were always the same, are silly. They talk about rain and fine weather, use the same words, the same formulas. Their movements are monotonous as flat as their words. They are stupid. What do you do with a majority of morons? Unable to reform society, with individuals unable to reform themselves, to join two ideas together, think so little. It makes them believe that bladders are lanterns. The sheep-like mass common temples and halls, bends to the whims of the administration and complains timidly, for form. These slaves were the masters they deserve. Individual and collective stupidity, stupidity of leaders and led, the learned and ignorant, rich and poor, the people and the bourgeoisie, there is so much stupidity in humanity we left confused. To see so many people who know what they say, who have lost all sense of right and wrong, loyalty, all courage, all heroism, blinded by their passions, their prejudices, their fanaticism and sectarianism, we are appalled. This is something awful. We can overcome his disgust. This stupidity, that centuries of slavery were forged, is as solid as granite, and as the universe is boundless.
What can we do against it? Hope, however - against hope - that day will come when Eile disappear from mankind. This will be a long, très long, et ce ne sont pas les petits-fils de nos petits-fils qui verront la bêtise vaincue, terrassée par l'intelligence et l'amour.
