"70% of the population — namely the lower 70% on the income and wealth scale — have absolutely no influence on political decisions. Yes, it is no wonder that the population sinks into apathy and lethargy and then seeks refuge in some political positions with an ugly face, hoping that through them they can regain some influence at all."

Prof. Rainer Mausfeld

"Well now, I believe we are much less stupid than it seems. We are trained not to think. Formulas are drilled into us, which we parrot.

But I believe that if the desire for true happiness, for true knowledge were to fully awaken among people in society – what the Enlightenment called with Kant's words: Sapere aude! Dare to know! – and not to consume canned wisdom that someone else has cooked and served, and then even experienced oneself as if I had thought such a thing...

I believe that tremendous change could be achieved.

People are not that stupid at all. But it is dangerous not to be stupid. Because if you are not stupid, you contradict, criticize, express unpopular opinions. And for safety reasons, it is better to appear stupid."

Erich Fromm

"We need to realize that these are beings that suffer the same as we suffer. They want freedom the way we want freedom."
