Idiots 17-21 constituted a spiritual hierarchy, reflecting progressive gradations of objective reason.
Idiot 18 presented the highest development which a human being could reach, but in order to attain it, he had first voluntarily to descend again from 17 to 1, the ordinary idiot.
Idiots 19 and 21 were reserved for the sons of God.
21 – Unique Idiot (God himself)“
