The leaders of dysfunctional ideologies will always have corrupt and even more dysfunctional leaders at the top. The shittier and more dogmatic the ideology, the more dysfunctional their leader will be. The biggest icons on the right all falling under the law suits and bankruptcy are a prime example of this. Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Kanye West are all highly dysfunctional, degenerate and corrupt individuals. Which is why they get in trouble all the time. They are unable to function properly, work, make money and live well in a sane society. The ideology they believe in makes them act in retarded ways. The fact that they were able to ascend to the pinnacle of society and amass such huge followings tells a lot how degenerate society have become in spite of all the astounding technological progress. You can observe how this plays out in your local social circle or political groups. There are no exceptions to this.

One of the striking revelations I had of the human psyche is that we are never acting from direct observations. We have observations and then interpret and pass it though the layer of processing on our on psyche into out memory. And then we are acting from this memory using it as a source. Observations are like secondary storage of a computer and your working memory is the memory of the computer. Whatever the ways we choose to react to our surroundings is a function of your own thoughts, interpretations in your own psyche. "Every action needs to be prompted by a motive" - Da Vinci.

"The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects."

Learning a concept can only take place by having sources: Texts, Textbooks & Video Tutorials. To make it clear, the fundamental source of conceptual learning is text. You can convert any source of information into a text, a complex mysterious entity that consists of symbols, words, sentences and the concept which forms the connections that unite them. Using these materials as a source, you can use your imagination to create more learning material to feed it to your own imagination. Imagination or thought is the core of learning. Especially thinking from scratch. It is a good practice to start thinking from scratch every time you are learning a new concept. Reading can improve your imagination by forcing you into a world of imagination. It increases the grey matter in your brain. Many many lessons in there. "Imagination is the True sign of intelligence" - Albert Einstein.
