I have recently been learning about the thought of Hannah Arendt. She was a German Jew who emigrated to the US during the terror of Hitler’s authoritarian regime. Later in life, as she observed the trial of a Nazi official who was the mastermind behind the transportation of European Jews into death camps. Arendt came to the conclusion that this man, and many throughout history like him, was not a particular kind of monster. Rather, he did not ask enough questions. His lack of imagination and lack of zeal for positively doing good is what, according to Arendt, made him capable of facilitating such horrors. She called this, “The Banality of Evil.” Evil is boring! This brief piece seeks to illustrate such banality in situations that are all too familiar to us today.
