I completely disagree with your statement above. Once you wrote about
bravery of Hitler and his generals. IMHO they were mad but neither brave nor
courageous. They were led by evil spirits at best. The same guidance we can
see in the present world where some evil spirits want to polarise humankind
between two poles : "fear" and "joy".
99 % of human population lived during middle ages in fear. Some evil spirits
want to bring back humankind into the same dark era. If we want to overcome
the heritage of middle ages we should be brave but not in the sense of
murderous
"bravery" of Hitler and his generals...


BTW it`s a big exaggeration to call Lasker a racist.

Jerzy
