Gotta love people who cobble together a bunch of quotes from 20th century philosophers and throw in a few conflated bits of terminology in order to attempt to sound intelligent... In fact I believe it was the great postmodern antisemitic transwarp psychic reductionist Herman H. Hyvenblayven who said "He who cannot refute the mass of the willed conscience is doomed to forever desimplify."

Anyhoo, if Rosenbaum really thinks there is no Banality of Evil, how does he explain the Milgram and Stanford prison experiments? I thought it had been fairly well established that humans are perfectly willing to be assholes to each other just as long as they get a shiny gold star sticker from whoever they think is in charge.
