The second: “On Stupidity”

by Robert Musil
from “Precision and Soul”

“We do not have too much intellect and too little soul, but too little precision in matters of the soul.”

“…totalitarianism was the most menacing and murderous political form of stupidity, in the sense that individual qualities and needs, including different elements of stupidity, became socially imitated and turned into collective ‘arrogance’ by and in the ‘body politic’.”
