I've been saying a lot lately that these people I'm up against would have been guarding the railcars to Auschwitz. This theory is chillingly accurate to today, but was written about the actual people who would end up a few years after it was written guard the railcars to Auschwitz.

A lot of people point out that being stupid is lazy, but what they don't talk about is it feels really good. Simple answers help the world make sense. You don't need to feel the pain of uncertainty, just follow what the orthodoxy says is true and the world makes sense. It's not fun being in an uncertain world. It doesn't feel good having to look at things you might not like to come to conclusions you might not think you'll come to initially. By contrast, a feeling that you're doing what's right is deeply fulfilling, even if it's not based on anything real or true.
