Soap Opera
Science as the rule of logic and reasoning suggests you play it safe. Democracy is the rule of the mob that lives by its lowest common denominator. Anyone who believes they are taking responsibility by voting every four years for who is going to screw them for the next four years doesn’t deserve better than the clowns, pimps, whores and faggots who pose as their leaders …
A true leader wouldn’t bother with a herd of cattle and sheep. He would seek those who are bold and courageous enough to create the future they want. His vision wouldn’t be limited to a fixed plan and idea, but to encourage and embolden his followers so they may evolve from disciples to successors who will themselves become leaders and creators to guide their own children and disciples toward dreams and promises in accordance with their own potential …
Leadership is determined and confirmed by the challenges it poses and tackles; its mission is empowerment and encouragement, thus by nature it won’t stick with established rules and paradigms. Whatever values we live by, they have to be confirmed time and again by the challenges we face. The strength of leadership is not in blind obedience of its followers nor in the number of followers, but in the reality that we as a tribe and community create for us; in the quality of life that we create and share …
A leader is the ideal of a parent, generous, benevolent and encouraging as he inspires faith and trust in each of us to live to the full of our potential.

Civilizations are born from the challenges they are facing, from the battles they have fought and succeeded in. A leader’s rank used to reflect on his or her merits in battle, on the sacrifices they made to ensure the welfare and prosperity of the community. The corruption and degeneration began when man learned to outsource responsibility …
In the past welfare and prosperity used to limited to food and shelter, but the strength of our ancestors was rooted in their humility and awareness of higher forces and agencies. They feared those agencies, but living in their presence and not shirking the fear has made them strong, brave and courageous. The stronger the fears they lived under, the less they could be intimidated by real obstacles and adversaries. Science and technology, by eliminating the challenges we are facing, have reduced life to the porn of what is visible by exposing mind, matter and dreams to the cold and probing instruments of logic and reason. As logic rules, we are told we need not fear anything, just follow the instructions of technicians and experts of scientific sanitation.
