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.
