Or maybe there's even higher intelligence in the form of conscious leadership which is extremely grounded and effective. I haven't seen many examples but it could happen. You're assuming it's not possible.

Sadhguru

[QVx]

I must agree that Sadhguru is a prime example of a highly conscious leader.

A characteristic of such a leader is exactly what Leo has pointed out.

Someone who recognises the stupidity of another, yet no less gives them their attention with space, while still knowing that such an act is somehow fruitless.

Thus we have the wisdom of God, of love.

a fellow mushroom retreat member who pushed the idea of Plato agreeing that enlightened people be obligated to take responsibility in governance. I argued if that was really Platos opinion then he wasn’t as awakened as some claim him to be.

Plato's Republic is misunderstood. Plato wasn't calling for philosopher-kings to rule. He said it was just an idealized thought experiment and that it would never happen in the real world. Plato fully understood how corrupt society was and that philosophers were not going to fix it.

That was true 2000 years ago and it will be true for another 1000 years.

No one in power cares about philosophy, so there's no helping them.

yup. I think the guy just Co opts philosophical works to suit his own belief system( based in conspiracy). It’s not even worth correcting him or even suggesting there’s another interpretation cause it’s just a massive angry ego backlash I get back. I stopped bothering with him.

meh…

Hmmm... In a Democracy, the ruler has more "keys".

What is Trump doing to all the Federal Departments and agencies again?

Trump is an autocrat. His gameplan is to reduce the keys down to a handful of loyal oligarchs. Exactly as the video says. That's why MAGA wants to undo democracy.

I love the ending of this video:

"But without power, you can affect nothing." 

So true, if you really want to make an impact on the world then you have to understand and play the game.

What radical leaders have made positive impacts?

It seems to me, radical positive impacts have been made by people that confront the game.

How does this rule of power apply to sadhgurus ashram. There are high amounts of volunteers, just keeping the organization alive for nothing in rewards.

I went to two of their programs in Germany. Very cheap price, 1/3 people were volunteers. I got incredible value out of their programs.

Hmmm... Interesting. You may be right. I'll have to contemplate this further. 

However, changing the system is no easy endeavor. The system is in place for a reason and it has its own self-survival agenda. Someone that wants to make real change has to keep the system in tact as they get into a place of power to be able to make real change. 

A total and immediate overhaul would cause for complete chaos. Just like an immediate and complete awakening without a period of integration would cause for complete chaos in an individuals mind. Check out the book "Collision with the Infinite" by Suzanne Segal for an example of this.

Sadhguru milks his volunteers more than Bezos milks Amazon warehouse workers.

The ruler changes but the milking stays the same

Haha 

[Hojo]

Sadhguru is like elon musk opposite he wants ultimate communism where everyone is working 16 hours a day and sleeping for 4 hours then meditating for 6 hours then getting up. Like a cell working towards maximal potential.

Elon musk wants dark enlightenment where everyone is slaves of corporations and work 16 hours a day, hes openly stated it.
