You only name men, many white, in your description of great thinkers. Perhaps this is part of why humanity knocks at deaths door now. The keepers of the creative life, women, have been continuously undervalued, in fact dismissed for millennia. So unconscious. And, continuous.

Malignant narcissists know everything already so they never learn.

...especially those whose inherited wealth, and the protection from consquences it buys, makes the learning unnecessary.

Malignant narcissist, demagogue Trump is the logical choice for a low information, superstitious American populace. Trump’s abominable seventh grade bully character is a feature, not a bug in Conservative Red Murica.

Democrats are being handed power on a silver platter, yet still find ways grab defeat from the jaws of victory.

Eighty is supposed to soften the ego, or at least teach it to sit down before it hurts itself. Trump somehow reached it with the inner life of a toddler guarding a casino buffet. No grace, no proportion, no sense that other people are real. Just appetite wearing a flag pin. “Act cruelly and sadistic forces will come to your aid” may be the most accurate spiritual diagnosis of the whole rotten circus.
