I am watching this video now, just over halfway. It’s just amazing how stupid ideas can captivate billions of people. It gave me an idea for a book about all the stupid ideas and people that have shaped our history. Religion is maybe the biggest mistake, but there are enough other stupid ideas like race and nationality. Imagine if some low-life painter never thought that a group of people were evil and needed to be erased. Or the war before that when a fool who believed in borders and groups killed a leader of another group and thus started the First World War that caused the Bolshevik Revolution and the Second World War that was followed by the Cold War that ended with a frustrated KGB officer who invaded a sovereign country 30 years later. Stupidy is the cause of a lot of suffering, and I have to admit that it is hard to know if you yourself are doing something stupid, but something should be learned from looking back.
