I have frequently referred to the professor of criminal anthropology Moritz Benedikt.[^5] Today as well, I would like to mention an interesting experience he himself relates in his memoirs. He had to address a meeting of scientists, and he reports that he prepared himself for this speech for twenty-two nights, not having slept day or night. On the last day before giving the address, a journalist who was supposed to publish the speech came to see him. Benedikt dictated it to him. He says that he had not written down the address at all, having merely impressed it onto his memory. He now dictated it to the journalist in his private chamber; the following day he gave this speech at the meeting of scientists. The journalist printed what he had taken down from dictation, and the printed speech agreed word for word with the speech Benedikt delivered at the meeting.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Materialism's Rise and the Physical Body's Perfection","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.

Ich habe öfters den Kriminalanthropologen Moriz Benedikt angeführt; ich möchte auch heute ein interessantes Erlebnis, das er selber erzählt in seinen «Lebenserinnerungen», anführen. Er hatte eine Rede zu halten auf einer Naturforscherversammlung, und nun erzählt er, daß er sich auf diese Rede, indem er Tag und Nacht nicht geschlafen hat, zweiundzwanzig Nächte lang vorbereitet hat. Zweiundzwanzig Nächte hat er die Rede vorbereitet, und am letzten Tag, bevor er die Rede gehalten hat, ist ein Journalist bei ihm erschienen, der sollte diese Rede veröffentlichen. Er diktierte sie ihm. Er hatte die Rede nicht niedergeschrieben, erzählt er, er hatte sie nur dem Gedächtnis eingeprägt. Er diktierte sie dem Journalisten; also im Kämmerchen diktierte er sie dem Journalisten und dann hielt er bei der Naturforscherversammlung diese Rede. Was der Journalist nach dem Diktat abgedruckt hat, stimmte nun bis aufs Wort genau mit dem überein, was Benedikt dann der Naturforscherversammlung vorgetragen hat. — Ich muß sagen, ich bewundere so etwas außerordentlich! Denn man bewundert immer dasjenige, was zu leisten man selbst niemals imstande wäre. Das also ist eine sehr interessante Erscheinung.
