A Third Weak in Spirit – Prof. Cyril Höschl

“A third of the people in this country are weak in spirit. One in seven citizens is stupid or demented or an alcoholic. About half of the country’s population has below-average intellect. These people, and it is half of the nation, escape the diversity and ambiguity of the world, and what is left of this world in their eyes can be divided into quite simple, mostly anti-polar elements. It’s sometimes called black and white thinking.”
