FINALLY! I got to watch this conversation with Stephen Kotkin! Brilliant discussion that uses real detailed scrutiny of historic figures who have wielded and do wield enormous power in order to illuminate and educate in the present about the very nature of power, and hopefully through that knowledge help avoid similar levels of power to be accumulated again! <br><br>I 100% agree with Stephen that the greatest wisdom any man or woman who leads or wishes to lead is to do so with the conscious understanding that they will freely give up that power within the institutional mechanism designed to give or take that power through the free will of the people vesting it.<br><br>Stalin was not a great man. For that very simple reason alone. <br><br>Putin is showing the same human flaw, and therefore is well on his way to proving himself to be not a great man in any meaningful way.<br><br>Trump and his inner circle are flirting with the idea of going down the same scrapheap of flawed humanity, his and their vanity ready to throw away any  last vestige of greatness or wisdom of any kind that they so dearly perceive themselves to hold.<br><br>Klaus Schwab and his corporate 'partners' and all those who enable his vision are perhaps on the verge of the greatest concentration of wealth and power the globe has EVER seen, and they are threatening civilisation as we know it imho.<br>The WEF must not be allowed to complete their global power grab. Persons of all political stripes who believe in the wisdom of constrained power given and taken by citizens as expressed in this interview so well must find a way to educate as many others as they can about this deeply flawed corporate vision of global power and policy. <br><br>Technology, knowledge, wealth, and/or power without wisdom all pave a very rocky and treacherous road.
