This age craves a Lincoln-like figure, who can steer the country through intense polarization

Whether by melancholia or meditation, the leader needs to discern truth through aloneness, while still heeding the crowds (or the group chats)

I worry, though, that we lack the spiritual infrastructure to allow such a leader to emerge

Do we really need “great men” to steer us?  I push back on this take of history.   Strong institutions have protected us from “great men” 9 times out of 10.

1. I agree in spirit, but the people are spiritually devoid right now. In order to roll up their sleeves, they're going to have to be left with no other options (hard times)

2. The people are already acting on it -- it's how we have the current administration. My plea is not to buck the "strong man" desire, but to ask that the strong man be wise as well / philosophically grounded

It's human nature to want a strong leader, especially when times are hard and institutions are dysfunctional

Institutions usually follow great men, but are also preceded by them
