Benjamin is profoundly impacted by the events of "Little Shepherd." He undergoes a spiritual transformation, gaining a new perspective on personal relationships, family and the meaning of life.

Benjamin's philosophically and poetically grounded position of "critical, intellectual existence" stands in opposition to the practical activity of attempting to ameliorate social conditions, which reveals its true nature, according to Benjamin, as a combination of "duty and charity." At this point in his life, Benjamin considered consciousness-raising and spiritual freedom to be primary.
Although Benjamin had not accepted Joël's invitation to contribute to the journal, he did sign the petition which was circulated to show solidarity with the pacifist.
Benjamin's hashish experiments under Joël and Fränkel's supervision in Berlin between 1927-1929 are ample proof of the inaccuracy of such an assessment as are certain remarks by Gershom Scholem.

JOEL BENJAMIN: Well, I don't think we use a completely comprehensive database because I think that could be self-defeating ultimately, because you're not really interested in games that are played between very weak players.
JOEL BENJAMIN: I don't know the answer to that, but I could say that probably there aren't going to be too many major changes during the match, because there's always the danger you could change something that will hurt in some area that you hadn't thought of.
