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

I often tell the people around me that Abraham Lincoln himself couldn’t reunite the Union today. The empire has too many systemic problems for a leader to correct course. We need serious paradigm shifts if it’s at all possible to correct.
