There you will meet Lloyd George, who set the tone there, probably still does, a man who was able to set the tone precisely because he remained capable of development only until the age of twenty-seven, then was of course elected to Parliament and has not been capable of development since, so that now, as an old man, he still thinks like a twenty-seven-year-old, that is, immaturely. You will find that such a mind has given rise to particular ideas, for example: So far we have sided with the Russian counter-revolution, it has been defeated; it is no longer profitable to side with the Russian counter-revolution, so we try to come to terms with the Bolsheviks, we try to come to a tolerable peace with them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Twelfth Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Evolution: Atlantean Divergence and Christian Incarnation","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
