People confuse being able to manipulate people with leadership.
The two are distinct, and the former like anti-Semitism or hating the rich leads to a pathology that obliterates the latter.

Interesting. Seems many think the origin of humanist ideas is in religion, and while I am skeptical, that means that ("objectively" speaking) there is fertile ground for crossover.

At this point, the only drugs I really like are coffee, weed, tobacco, and psilocybin.
The latter only on ceremonial occasions. I would smoke weed more if it were not such a pain in the ass.

A good thing to revisit at some point.
For personal satisfaction if nothing else.

I wonder if Napoleon and Hitler secretly thought they were Jesus.
I wonder if Jesus thought he was Plato, since that obviously his greatest influence, although I suspect Indian thought as well, possibly through Babylonian or Greek intermediaries.

I grew up in places where it was abused, so I have a fear of anything methamphetamine related.
Coffee is as far as I get, and it is the drug I abuse most. I am not fooled; this is a drug at least as powerful as marijuana or cocaine (and I'm not putting weird shit up my nose either).

Gorgoroth used to say that they were for the beast in man. Most likely the one band that actually read Nietzsche... I am for the beast in man.
The problem with man is that often he thinks too much like man, and not enough like beast.
This is a nuanced, multi-layered problem, likely more difficult than championship chess, compiler design, or running an industry.
So yes: energy is needed. This was something the Cheeto mentioned a lot.

Darkthrone said (among other things) that they were for all the evil in man.
Since I don't believe in evil -- selfishness, incompetence, stupidity, mental derangement, narcissism, sociopathy, ineptitude, psychopathy, pathological signaling individualism/altruism, and cluster B traits generally explain this just fine -- I had to ponder that one.
What they mean by evil is the lawless power struggle of nature.

We can all learn from how past leaders used too much Pervitin and ended up going a bit emotionally wonky.
I think tobacco might help, and that might irk those leaders a bit but the calm steady mind often has more energy than an impassioned one.
Weird thing, this learning from the past, even if it is always only partial learning.
Divine insight is reserved for the gods (Zeus, Odin, Krishna).

Then again, this post could be rephrased as a general criticism against extraversion.
I find most things on the internet oversimplify just to attract an audience that "wants to believe."
