Me thinks duh: "Tolstoy believed that leadership, like other things, was a "zeitgeist" and was a product of the social circumstances at the time. Thus, it was not the characteristics of the individual that resulted in leadership, but societal factors of the time that are out of the individual's control." #likeeverydisneymovie Not the best, but what we need. There are so many people that are talented who never get the leadership tag. Society is a picky bitch. Thus, when you think of leaders, you are guaranteed to be disappointed and rarely surprised. We must remember the power structures in which they also must operate. Tempting as violence and radical actions, these things do not catch fire unless the power engages in abject violence.

INTERSTELLAR
My favorite things from Interstellar.
As I sit a year removed in the self enforced darkness... cause it's hot as shit outside, i began to think Interstellar was pretty cool.
Why? Not science. Also, not apocalypse. Interstellar is cool cause it has a nice shiny idea in it which is very important. This, this idea is that a government policy effort which is broadcast and tweeted is not really the stated intent or hoped for result, rather the secondary benefit.
Often we hear noise about how this mission is intended to A) get us into space; B) bankrupt the competition; or C) advance technology.
PRETTY sure everyone feels like this... So then, there is this essential battle of being influenced in thought by intuition versus unclear science. IDk about y'all, but i like to learn and confirm shit on my smartphone. But sometimes, there's stuff that just can't be telephoned.
