The Hidden Force of Stupidity: A Reflection on Bonhoeffer's Insights
Throughout history, certain individuals have dared to confront the unthinkable, sparking conversations that reach into the core of human morality and social responsibility.

Bonhoeffer argued that stupidity poses a more profound threat than evil itself, as it not only blunts one's ability to reason but also dulls one's moral compass.
