The good news is that this awareness gives us a clear target in
our efforts to return the world to sanity; We need to sanitize and
insulate leadership roles from contamination by this corrosive
personality disorder.
I really believe we can do this with
laws that already exist. How? We have a well established body of laws
that already exclude certain physical and psychological conditions
from various roles and occupations. These laws are necessary to
protect the public from the predictable harm that would result from
individuals with particular disabilities holding certain positions.
This is why we don't have blind airline pilots or narcoleptic
forklift drivers.
If we don't let blind people fly airliners, why do we let
diagnosable psychopaths run corporations and countries?
This
needs to be the big discussion that we as a society are having. Until
we fix this very real dynamic, every cause we are fighting for is
nothing more than sticking yet another bandage on the wounds these
monsters inevitably inflict on the systems and people they seek to
control.
Fix the malignancy of psychopathic leadership and we fix everything.
With good, morally guided leadership, the solutions to most of the big problems we face will materialize organically.
We have the resources and the know-how to solve most of our great challenges as a society and as a species. We have the will to fix things, almost everyone on Earth wants these problems solved, what we lack is the caliber of leadership to do so.
