36) Examples of analyzing leadership abilities

  6 May 2024

 
We must pass judgment on a person’s leadership abilities

Why does a person want to be our leader?

When passing judgment on whether a person is qualified for leadership, we must consider why he wants to be our leader. Does he truly want to do research about the problems of a modern society? Is he truly interested in experimenting with improvements to our social activities, cities, economic system, school system, holiday celebrations, or other culture? Is he truly interested in helping us have a better life?

Or is the only concerned with helping himself? Is he attracted to leadership because he has abnormally intense cravings for status or wealth? Or is he suffering from some type of internal pains and is hoping that a leadership position will make him feel good? Or is he a member of a crime network that is trying to exploit and manipulate us?

We have cravings to be leader

The reason we must pass judgment on why a person wants to be a leader is because we have a very powerful emotional craving to be at the top of the hierarchy. Everybody, especially men, want to be the leader of the world, so we must pass judgment on whether the person wants to be our leader simply to satisfy his emotional craving, or whether he actually is interested in the responsibilities and work.

It is impossible to figure out why a person wants to be be our leader, but we must make those judgments by analyzing his life. We must assume that the behavior we find in his past is what we will see in his future.

Leaders must have a desire to solve problems

A modern society needs leaders who are interested in analyzing the complex problems we have today, such as economic systems, school curriculum, abortion, courtship activities, holiday celebrations, and immigration. Our leaders must also have the courage to experiment with new ideas.

Therefore, we should look at a person's history to see if he is shown any interest in analyzing such problems. If a person has never shown much of an interest in understanding culture, human history, human behavior, or our social problems, we should not expect him to suddenly develop such an interest if he is hired for a leadership position.

By the time an adult is about 40 years old, we should expect him to behave in the manner that he has been behaving during most of his adult years. If he spent most of his adult life pursuing his cravings for food, sex, status, and material wealth, we should assume that he will continue behaving like that when he is given a leadership position.
Example #1: Sam Altman

Is Sam Altman appropriate as a leader?

Sam Altman, the very wealthy CEO of OpenAI , appears to be above-average in intelligence and education, which is what we want in a leader, but an analysis of his opinions shows that there is something seriously wrong with his ability to provide us with guidance. For example, he is quoted as saying:
"If we get fusion to work and electricity is free,"

He certainly has enough intelligence and education to realize that electricity from fusion reactors is no more free than the electricity from solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, and coal, so why would he make such a stupid remark? And why is he so confident that we have the technology to create those fusion reactors that he invested $375 million in Helion, which is the largest investment a startup company ever received?

He, or someone, has even convinced Microsoft to sign an agreement to purchase the free electricity from Helion's fusion reactors in 2028, even though there is no evidence that Helion can make a fusion reactor work, and even though it makes no sense to purchase free electricity.

I suspect that Sam Altman is suffering from some type of emotional problem, and that he is titillating himself with the fantasy of becoming a hero by providing the world with free electricity. I also suspect that he is so desperate to feel important that he is refusing to look critically at his fantasy.

Another of Sam Altman's hero fantasies is to "ultimately to lift billions out of poverty through a universal basic income". In 2019 he co-founded the Tools for Humanity organization and Worldcoin crypto currency, and their goal is to give some crypto currency to every person on earth.

However, the theory that we can stop poverty by giving crypto currency to poor people, or by giving them a universal basic income, is just a trivial variation of the theory that we can stop poverty with handouts of rice, cash, clothing, or EBT cards.

The theory that we can stop poverty with handouts has been promoted all throughout history, and in all cultures. This constitution has this and this document to explain how idiotic such theories are.

Even more bizarre, Altman is the CEO of a company that develops artificial intelligence software, but he is frightened of artificial intelligence software, and he wants to be a hero who protects us from it.

Of course, it is possible that he is only pretending to be frightened of the AI software in order to justify getting control of it so that can control the information that it provides us, thereby manipulating our opinions. If that's what he's doing, then he should be regarded as a criminal.

Altman is also trying to become a hero by becoming the president of Y Combinator, which he believes will help our democracies work properly:
"Democracy only works in a growing economy. Without a return to economic growth, the democratic experiment will fail. And I have to think that YC is hugely important to that growth."

He is just one of many people who believe they know how to fix the problems of a democracy.

Mark Lore believes that he can improve a democracy by using blockchain to get more people to vote, whereas Sam Altman believes that he can improve democracy with crypto currency and a universal basic income.

Those two men, and all of the other people who believe that they can create a "New and Improved Democracy", are promoting an insignificant change to a concept that has failed continuously. They are not providing us with intelligent analyses of democracies or government systems.

The men who are getting into influential positions today are not providing us with intelligent analyses of democracies, AI software, government systems, economic systems, voting, crimes, or any other issue. Furthermore, they do not encourage discussions or investigations. They condemn investigations as Holocaust denial, climate change denial, racism, sexism, and homophobia. They try to suppress, arrest, or ignore their critics and competitors.

The men who are struggling to become our leaders seem to be abnormally aggressive, selfish, and anti-social men who have excessive cravings to get to the top of the social hierarchy. They want to feel important, not deal with the problems of a modern society. They do not even want us to live with us. They want to live in giant mansions that are isolated from us. They want us to be their servants, not their friends.
Example #2: Mark Cuban

A leader needs more than a few admirable qualities

Mark Cuban wanted to become the vice president of the USA in 2016. He has been very successful in business, and he has some impressive characteristics, (such as not wasting his life trying to get revenge on his secretary who stole his money). However, almost everybody has some admirable qualities, so that does not qualify a person to be a leader.

Our top government officials should have a desire to analyze and deal with society's problems, make life better for us, and have the courage to explore our options. Does Mark Cuban show those type of qualities?

What is Mark Cuban most interested in?

Cuban said that when he was a young man, he would drive around the wealthy neighborhoods to stimulate himself with the expensive houses. He described it as motivating himself to become wealthy.

It is common for people to find a way to stimulate themselves into doing something, such as the men who remind themselves of their wife and children in order to push themselves into making enough money to support their family. There are also people who help themselves control their emotional cravings by convincing themselves that they must behave in a respectable manner in order to be accepted into heaven.

Mark Cuban might be unusual for stimulating himself by driving around expensive houses, but a lot of people do something similar with paper magazines.

Instead of driving around in a car to look at expensive homes, they turn the pages of the magazines to view expensive homes, private jets, athletic trophies, wedding gowns, jewelry, and yachts.

There are also some people, especially women, who stimulate themselves by looking in the window displays of retail stores that offer expensive products.

There is nothing wrong with Mark Cuban stimulating himself, but we need to analyze his life to determine what his true interests are. My interpretation of his life is that his primary concern is material wealth. I would describe that as inappropriate for a top leadership position.

This constitution advocates restricting the top leadership positions to people who have shown an above-average interest in analyzing human behavior and the problems of society in order to improve our cities, economic system, school system, recreational activities, and holiday celebrations. Their goal should be to create a more pleasant life for all of us.

They should be sociable people who want friends, not people who want to surround themselves with submissive employees or servants who pamper them, and submissive security personnel who become their personal military force to attack their critics and competitors.

Leadership cannot cure bad behavior

When people get into leadership, they will continue to have the same mental characteristics. Therefore, we would be foolish to assume that a person who has spent his life pursuing wealth, sex, or status, or who was involved with crime, will suddenly transform into an honest and talented government official.

The people who have abnormally intense cravings for material wealth, status, or sex should be disqualified from a top leadership position because our leaders should be people who have an intense interest in improving our culture, making our lives better, and helping us to understand our problems.

Although there are no details on Mark Cuban's life, the information that we have shows that he has a tremendous craving for material wealth, but not much of an interest in human behavior, culture, or our social problems.

Cuban did not care who he was vice president for

In 2016 Mark Cuban was hoping to become vice president of the USA, but he did not care whether he was vice president for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. That behavior is as suspicious as a person who is doesn't care whether he gets a job as a leader of the Nazi party or the ADL.

His lack of concern for which team he becomes a leader for is an indication that he had no interest in working with either team. Rather, he wanted to be vice president for some other reason, such as to satisfy his cravings for status, or because he is a member of a Zionist or pedophile crime network, and his goal was to infiltrate the government.

Cuban canceled his request to be president in 2020

In 2017 Cuban suggested the possibility of becoming a candidate for president in the 2020 election. I suspect that he suggested the possibility rather than announce his intention to be a candidate because he was worried he would not have enough support from the voters, which would make him look like a failure. Therefore, he pretended that the idea of becoming a presidential candidate was just a casual thought that was passing through his mind at the time.

That is an indication that he was more concerned with his image than in being honest. This is typical behavior for animals, especially the males. We are always trying to impress people. It is difficult for us to be honest about ourselves.

In 2020 he hired some people to conduct some polls to see if he could get enough support from the voters. After discovering that he might not have enough support to become president, he claimed that he did not bother to become a candidate because his family disapproved of the idea.

Cuban has a wife and three children, so which of them disapproved of his plans to be president? That they merely disapprove, or did they order him to cancel his plans, or did they threaten him in some manner?

I suspect that he canceled his plans when he came to the conclusion that he would fail in his attempt to become president, and he did not want to be a failure. He was so concerned with his image that he blamed his family for making him cancel his plans.

If he truly is submissive to his family, then he should be disqualified as a candidate. It is idiotic and dangerous to put a man into a top leadership position if he is submissive to his wife and/or children. It would be better to put the people that he is submissive to into the leadership position. That allows us to see who is making the decisions, and hold them accountable.

Furthermore, if a man is going to pander to his wife or children, then he might also pander to crime networks, businesses, his friends, or foreign nations.

A leader should provide leadership, not follow orders from other people. However, I doubt if he is submissive to his wife or children. I suspect that he is lying to us, and that blamed his family because he did not want to admit that he was frightened of losing the election.

This is typical behavior for people, especially men. Specifically, we have intense cravings to win our competitions, and we become upset when we lose. This results in men looking for ways to avoid losing, such as by cheating, and when we do lose, we look for excuses so that we can blame somebody else rather than ourselves.

We should restrict leadership positions to the people who are the most willing to acknowledge their failures, and take responsibility for their mistakes. They should be the least likely to blame other people for their failures.

At the end of the news article about Cuban blaming his family for not running for president, Cuban insulted President Trump for not taking responsibility for his problems:

"To this day, nothing is his fault. He's never admitted anything. And you can't be the leader of the free world and play the victim card all the time."

Cuban could be described as a hypocrite for accusing Trump of not admitting to his failures. Trump could have responded by making the same remark about Cuban:

"To this day, nothing is Cuban's his fault. He's never even admitted to being responsible for canceling his 2020 presidential desires. He claims to be a victim of his family. And you can't be the leader of the free world and play the victim card all the time."

If we could analyze the minds of Mark Cuban and Donald Trump, we might find that they have very similar mental characteristics, which is why they both ended up as billionaires.

We must judge how people react to problems

Elliot Rodger, the man who was accused of the suspicious killings in Isla Vista, California, spent a lot of time sitting in public locations and watching people. When he saw men and women showing affection, or when he saw people with their friends, he would become angry and envious. Once he became so angry when he saw a man and woman kissing each other that he went over to them and through some coffee on them.

Here is a short segment from one of his videos in which he is walking near a golf course towards his car as the sun sets. It starts with him appearing to be a normal person who is admiring the beautiful scenery, but he soon switches to feeling sorry for himself and hating the world. He also occasionally tells himself how awesome he is.

Rodger failed continuously to attract friends and a wife, and he reacted to the failure with hatred, envy, pouting, and boasting about himself.

Everybody reacts slightly differently to failures. For example, some men react to the inability to find a wife by raping a woman, and others react by joining a dating service, or purchasing a young girl to become a sex slave. Some men react by getting a pet dog, an inflatable woman, or a sex robot. Some men develop the "sour grapes" attitude and insist that they don't want a wife because women are disgusting.

How does Mark Cuban, Donald Trump, and other people in influential positions react to problems and failures?

When Cuban realized that he did might not have enough support to become president in 2020, he blamed his family. How would he have reacted if he had failed at becoming a billionaire? Would he have blamed his family or somebody else for his failure? Or would he have become so angry that he resorted to crime?

A lot of evidence has been provided during the past decade that all of the billionaires have joined crime networks, and that it is impossible for somebody to make that much money in an honest manner. However, the billionaires don't commit "ordinary" crimes, such as shoplifting items from a retail store, or stealing a woman's purse. Rather, they join crime networks that are involved with murder, pedophilia, human trafficking, blackmail, and other serious crimes.

Although some of the billionaires might have been deceived into joining the crime network Because they were fooled into believing that they were actually joining a "New World Order" that is improving the world, we should consider that they decided to join simply because of extreme selfishness and a lack of concern about the quality of other people's lives.

A person can justify murder if it is to defend himself or his society from a dangerous person, but murdering people simply to acquire some money or fame, or murdering critics and competitors, should be regarded as evidence that the person has unacceptable mental characteristics. That type of person should be considered so anti-social, violent, and selfish that he is a danger to society.
