Und, ja: "Vollends in unserer Zeit der Verherrlichung des Ego hat einer, der zugunsten etwa der Demut spricht, etwas unbeschreiblich Gaunerhaftes." Man mag es nic...

A true intellectual freethinker who never submitted himself to conventional ideas only because they were in vogue, he was one of few who understood the false theory and dangerous ethics behind the popular eugenics movement. The aim for the eugenicists was to improve humanity and create a race of superhumans, by the...
