概要

In this episode of the Builders of the Mystic Circle podcast, Brother Jeremy Castle discusses the rise of stupidity and the decline of critical thinking in our society. He distinguishes stupidity from ignorance and argues that stupidity is a choice. He further criticizes the internet for becoming a breeding ground for misinformation and fostering uncritical thinking. Drawing on the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Brother Castle emphasizes how stupidity combined with authority can be manipulated to instigate atrocities and divides in society. The podcast ends with strategies for combating stupidity and promoting critical thinking, including asking questions, acknowledging personal biases, fact-checking information before sharing, and committing oneself to lifelong learning.
