Our leaders are not wise or insightful. They’re not even particularly intelligent. Our society is led by plutocrats who only know how to make more money, by unelected empire managers who only know how to dominate and control, and by elected politicians who only know how to say the right words and make the right bargains in order to get themselves elected.…
Our leaders are not going to fix the worst problems in our world. They couldn’t if they wanted to. And they don’t want to.
