Today, anyone who has gone through a life of trials and tribulations and has struggled with problems for decades, who is compelled by today's education of humanity to present these problems in the accessible, conventional forms of spiritual-scientific concepts, he does not find young people everywhere who come and say, with their one-and-a-half decades of experience at most: This is my point of view, this is what I think, this is what I counter with my rich life experiences. And finally, taken in the abstract, one cannot even disagree with these beginners in life, who can think just as logically as the aged with life experience. scientific knowledge is basically not bound to human development. It is something that one achieves, wherever one finds oneself, and which one finally attains when one has reached a certain degree of adulthood. And so we can say: this abstract thinking, this intellectualism, which has today reached a high degree of perfection, gives everyone something that they actually want to communicate to everyone else, but which the other person already knows from within themselves. They want to communicate in social life. They cannot communicate because the other person is not inclined to receive the message, but at most to counter it with their point of view.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Findet nicht heute derjenige, der durch eine prüfungsreiche Lebenserfahrung gegangen ist und durch Jahrzehnte gerungen hat mit den Problemen, der genötigt ist, aus der heutigen Menschheitserziehung heraus diese Probleme in den gangbaren gebräuchlichen Formen der geisteswissenschaftlichen Begriffe darzustellen, findet er nicht überall die jüngsten Leute, die kommen und sagen mit ihrer anderthalb Jahrzehnte höchstens dauernden Erfahrung: Das ist mein Standpunkt, das denke ich, das setze ich entgegen den reichen Lebenserfahrungen. Und schließlich, abstrakt genommen, kann man diesen Lebensanfängern, die ebensogut logisch denken können wie die lebenserfahrenen Greise, man kann ihnen nicht einmal unrecht geben, denn dasjenige, was den Nerv ausmacht unseres gegenwärtigen wissenschaftlichen Erkennens, das ist im Grunde nicht gebunden an menschliche Entwickelungen, das ist etwas, was man erreicht, wohinein man sich findet, und was man schließlich, wenn man einen gewissen Grad von Erwachsenheit erreicht hat, eben erlangt. Und so kann man sagen: Dieses abstrakte Denken, dieser Intellektualismus, der es heute zu einem hohen Grade an Vollkommenheit gebracht hat, der gibt jedem etwas, was er eigentlich jedem anderen mitteilen möchte, aber was der andere schon von sich selber aus weiß. Man möchte sich mitteilen im sozialen Leben. Man kann sich nicht mitteilen, weil der andere nicht geneigt ist, die Mitteilung zu empfangen, sondern höchstens ihr seinen Standpunkt entgegenzustemmen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":215,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-03-18/p010"}],"english":["GA 334/1920-03-18/p010"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":215,"en_words":224,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9598,"original_word_count":9332,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200318s01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
