if we're overwhelmingly inclined to extermnate ourselves as a race–if we're helpless before this design, a leader is one who is going the opposite way. that is the definition of a leader. one who is with every fiber of his or her being going against our current. We take note and are inspired by that novelty. A leader may make a difference, but as far as I can see, leaders historically haven't been followed long before the current resumes. 95% of so-called leaders actually speed our way along to extinction, aping the behavior and language of leaders for destructive ends.
