I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief. EDIT: I misread and thought he was a supporter of the regime, but the source is not a villain as I thought before. In any case, I think there is some wisdom in this quote. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Kurt_von_Hammerstein-Equord https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Kurt_von_Hammerstein-Equord I wonder if an RPG could be made adding these two axes to the alignment graph? (I just want to play a "Chaotic Stupid" character.)
