Intellectual blinkers racing, exceptions and possibilities of its diminution

I understand blinkers racing as the behaviour of people to join in a race (family, job, hoppy, function) without looking right or left of the blinkers worn. In case of the second president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Lübke, his foolish efforts of Germanizing English coined the expression „Lübke’s English“. „Enall“ is an interesting if unfortunate trial of mispronouncing an English word. The provoked hurricane of laughter shows that such experiments will not be rewarded. In „An interesting Language“ foreign speakers deeply enjoy their supposedly perfect English but are brought back to earth by an English Professor’s comment. If you do not know the meaning of a foreign word but associate an erotic idea with it a story may develop like „Invisible extremities“. „Books have not changed the world“. Here somebody tries to hide his illiteracy and aversion to reading by much too high demands on books. Otto von Bismarck and Helmut Schmidt rank without doubt among the notable exceptions of blinkers racing. Two possibilities of reducing intellectual blinkers racing are more a jocular kind, namely chair lifts and beacon-light laughter. But the origin of both, curiosity, is certainly an important weapon in the fight against intellectual blinkers racing. Two corresponding quotations from Albert Einstein complete this treatise. - Die Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel „Furchenläuferei, Ausnahmen davon und Möglichkeiten ihrer Verringerung“ bei Pro BUSINESS Berlin 2010, ISBN 978-3-86805-551-1.
