> Do you know the story about the Stanford experiment in which a group of students were put into a room and money was distributed among them; then there was an offer that they can get whatever money they want but at the same time one aristocrat will be randomly picked and thrown out of the window. So everyone took the money, because they knew they would be the lucky guy thrown out of the window. And I think this is the most difficult ethical question in today’s world. It is the question: what do we do with those who are condemned by the majority? Here I am totally against death penalty; I am totally for it. I think in our narcissistic permissive society people who are mentally disturbed or cannot manage their lives are condemned to death. It’s not done literally, but this is already enough. We don't need no state to kill them.

I want to be the lucky guy.

> What do you mean, it’s not a name? I will give you a couple of letters. You can spell my name however you want It’s still the same person. W-E-R-N-E-R H-E-R-Z-O-G. So what’s the problem?
