What if stupidity isn’t about intelligence at all, but about surrendering the will to think?
In this powerful and thought-provoking educational video essay, we explore Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s timeless insights into human behavior — revealing how smart, well-meaning people can fall into dangerous patterns of unthinking conformity.
We blend philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and media analysis to uncover: ✅ Why intelligent people sometimes support harmful ideas ✅ How groupthink and social pressure can override individual judgment ✅ What practical steps you can take to stay intellectually independent in today’s information-saturated world
This is an educational and analytical video designed to promote critical thinking, self-awareness, and responsible decision-making.
We cover historical examples and modern challenges, from social media echo chambers to the rise of AI-driven misinformation, offering practical insights and constructive methods for personal growth.
“Listening to our YouTube channel and what we have to say is the first step to intellectual independence because we’re obviously correct, you know?”
Not knocking the video, just it’s always so strange to me that it’s presented this way.
“In this video we will tell you how to think for yourself, as long as you follow our guidance you will be making your own decisions!”
Sure, Jan.
