Hannah Arendt's 1963 book, “The Banality of Evil,” is actually wrong. It portrayed the lie Eichmann told when he was on trial. He said that he was “just following orders.” Arendt got conned. Eichmann was a true believer in Hitler's final solution and a committed Anti-Semite. On this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, I spoke with accomplished Israeli filmmaker Yariv Mozer about his award-winning series The Devil's Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes documenting senior Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann's role as architect in the planning and implementation of the Holocaust's Final Solution. We also discussed Mozer's latest Emmy Award winning documentary, the Paramount+ movie, We Will Dance Again, based on footage, facts, and stories from the October 7th, 2023, Nova Festival, in which Hamas militants suddenly attacked Israel. He is a third-generation descendant of Holocaust survivors from his mother's family, which he noted was an essential aspect of his story and identity. Learn more about your ad choices.

In The Banality of Good: The UN's Global Fight against Human Trafficking (Duke University Press, 2024), Dr. Lieba Faier examines why contemporary efforts to curb human trafficking have fallen so spectacularly short of their stated goals despite well-funded campaigns by the United Nations and its member-state governments. Focusing on Japan's efforts to enact the UN's counter-trafficking protocol and assist Filipina migrants working in Japan's sex industry, Dr. Faier draws from interviews with NGO caseworkers and government officials to demonstrate how these efforts disregard the needs and perspectives of those they are designed to help. She finds that these campaigns tend to privilege bureaucracies and institutional compliance, resulting in the compromised quality of life, repatriation, and even criminalization of human trafficking survivors. Dr. Faier expands on Hannah Arendt's idea of the “banality of evil” by coining the titular “banality of good” to describe the reality of the UN's fight against human trafficking. Detailing the protocols that have been put in place and evaluating their enactment, Dr. Faier reveals how the continued failure of humanitarian institutions to address structural inequities and colonial history ultimately reinforces the violent status quo they claim to be working to change. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance.

On the surface, “Rosemary's Baby” is a horror film about a woman who gets taken advantage of by a satanic cult and impregnated by the Devil. In the end, it seems to be a satire on the competing entrapments of domesticity and ambition, and the boring conventionality of people who hope that opposition to convention will allow them to retrieve their lost youth. Wes & Erin discuss Roman Polanski's 1968 classic, and why it is that Satanic evil, when confronted with life's very frightening realities—including pregnancy itself—turns out to be so banal.

With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality. Thomas Thwaites, Artist and Designer, joins me for this conversation. Check out his website for all of his projects, his TED talk and the project he's currently working on, a harmless car.

Elizabeth Minnich discusses her remarkable new book "The Evil of Banality- On the Life and Death Importance of Thinking." At the heart of Minnich's book is an examination of the phenomenon of what she calls Extensive Evil, where many people allow some sort of evil to occur. American Slavery, the Holocaust, and the Genocide in Rwanda are three examples of Extensive Evil (as opposed to Intensive Evil, in which an evil act is perpetrated by an individual or small group of people. Minnich contends that it is when we live life thoughtlessly that we so easily become participants in evil on a widespread scale. Minnich worked for many years with Hannah Arendt, who coined the phrase "the banality of evil" in the early 1960s and was harshly criticized for it.

To normalize the horrific, it takes lots of people going along. From the history of leaders lying, the current regime has learned that spewing new lies many times a day works to make reality conform to the lies. On this The post Mindless Banality Spreads Quickly. And It’s Evil. appeared first on KDA Keeping Democracy Alive Podcast & Radio Show.

On today's show, we discuss the Arkansas Legislature's adjournment and how Gov. Sanders' wish list is nearly complete. Also, Elizabeth Minnich talks about her book “The Evil of Banality." Plus, we celebrate the 150th edition of Sound Perimeter with Lia Uribe.

Guest: Elizabeth Minnich is Distinguished Fellow at the American Association of Colleges & Universities. She was Hannah Arendt's Teaching Assistant at The Graduate Faculty of The New School University in New York. She is the author of The Evil of Banality: On The Life and Death Importance of Thinking.     The post The Banality of Evil & the Dangers of Mindless Complicity appeared first on KPFA.

This week I dive into some of Trump's recent comments about "Venezuelan gang members" and the USA's legacy of dehumanizing people based on their drug use. I discuss Rodney King, Joaquín Guzman aka "El Chapo," George Floyd, dehumanization, Hannah Arendt's Banality of Evil, the art of shilling for Trump (aka "minionism"), and lots more.You can find clips and images of the "Venezuelan Gang deportations" here. Support the show

A clip from our Patreon Only Episode "Zone of Interest." Zone of Interest and Banality of Evil. We look at the Jonathan Glazer's 2023 film Zone of Interest, compare it to Under the Skin, and discuss Hannah Arendt's concept of the "banality of evil" and why the movie may not fit into that description. ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LostFuturesPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Rate⁠⁠ us on Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-futures-a-mark-fisher-podcast/id1685663806⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0EnwNGZijCDZVIl5JtjwGT⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow⁠⁠⁠ us on Twitter: @lostfuturespod Theme Song By: EvilJekyll Art/animation by: Gregory Cristiani

How do otherwise good people support bad things? Let's discuss and strategize. 

An author, an archivist, a barista, a criminal, and a fighter. Five people who should have nothing in common, but they are five people who see the dreams of mortals and live among them - they are Changelings. From their modest coffee shop in downtown Washington D.C., their lives will be upended by prophecy, dynastic succession, and the sheer power of the Dreaming. Can they walk the narrow line between Banality and Bedlam? Link: https://hallowedhavenstudios.com/district-of-dreams RSS Feed: https://feeds.castos.com/d28q5

https://youtu.be/2sZU9hJLFWg Podcast audio: In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Onkar Ghate and Elan Journo analyze the moral significance of the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and its replacement by jihadists. Among the topics covered: Why authoritarian regimes, like Assad's, are fundamentally weak and unstable; How the future of the Middle East is constrained by anti-freedom ideologies; How the media coverage of Assad's fall is blind to the crucial role of ideas; How altruism prevents us from seeing others regimes, like Hamas, as evil; Why America's security depends on deterring bad actors, not nation-building. Mentioned in this podcast are Onkar Ghate's and Elan Journo's co-authored book Failing to Confront Islamic Totalitarianism, Journo's book What Justice Demands: America and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict , and Journo's and Yaron Brook's coauthored essay "The Banality of Putin and Xi."
