The great UK professor discusses the Nolan Priciples, how it applies today, and the applications in modern life.
The Banality of Evil
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, The New Yorker, 1963.
What did Hannah Arendt really mean by the banality of evil?
C.S. Lewis, Preface to The Screwtape Letters, 1942
“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint.
It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result.
But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.”
This is a perfect video as we see the last of the Biden administration sleepwalk into the night.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
He is well worth following, to get a different perspective on modern life in the UK.
