Stupidity, the word that Bonhoeffer used. I would describe it as creating ideal conditions for willful ignorance (stupidity) to thrive in. But it's more than that. Basically, he's describing how the sinful nature of man, coupled with our desire for the path of least resistance, which could be described as the less stressful path that comes with the herd mentality, fostered by as much stress as possible in the media, is one of the ways being used to manipulate the masses. Never waist a good crisis, right? That's just the tip of the iceberg.
If there were ever a time to not lean unto our own understanding and hold to every Word in the Word of God, it's today. This is scary stuff.
