Truth Teller #3 Hannah Arendt

Truth tellers #3 Hannah Arendt. The thinker whose book “Eichman in Jerusalem” about the trial of prominent Nazi Adolph Eichman gave us the chilling idea of “The banality of evil.” In the book, she describes how an ordinary person can become a monster, yet remain seemingly normal. Such people try to live in a moral twilight, never deciding between good and bad. As Arendt observed ”The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

Truth Teller #4 George Orwell

Truth Teller #4 George Orwell. Orwell’s look into the dystopian future, the novel 1984, was likely a big reason that dystopian future didn’t come true. Or did it? War is peace, freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength. Big brother is watching you.

Truth Teller #7 Edmund Burke

Truth Teller #7 Edmund Burke. I will throw conservatives a bone here by quoting the father of modern conservatism. I think his observation that government is a pact between the dead, the living and the yet born is majestic, concise and true today as it was when he wrote the words in the late 1700s. But now that we have the power to wipe humanity off the planet, I believe the meaning of that truth has changed.
