If artists & philosophers & scientists & healers & teachers ruled the world, could we be doing any worse? Might we not in fact be doing better? The idea of lawyers & economists & businesspeople as the “qualified” lot is starting to fade. We need vision and moral clarity and love.

scientists and philosophers and visionaries are not willing to feed the masses lies and prevarications. We need educated public that can stand behind honest politicians. America’s supposedly better half just rejected Sanders and Warren!

Truth brings Perfect Vision. Truth brings Moral Clarity. The Love we need is Love of Truth... then thru Truth. If Truth ruled the World... if We ruled w/ Truth... We would be doing the Best. Philosophers... Question Truth Scientists... Validate Truth Teachers... Teach Truth

We also need more women in office for that moral clarity and love

we'd encourage more art, philosophy and culture if we provided a basic income, and mitigate wealth inequality and associated pathologies

Artist here. I think you're right. People with something else besides human flourishing as the bottom line have to relinquish the throne or have it taken from them.

As an artist, I approve this message... But I'm not sure if I should be in charge of anything ;) Cheer's Marianne. You're a voice of hope, in this time. Respect. Be safe.

I don't believe it's about the position or the profession. I am a lawyer who works in local gvnt. I do my work as an atty. rooted in love asking what does love look like in public policy as evidenced through the tool I have in my hand of a law degree. It's about an ethic of love

Maybe the best possibility is if the lawyers were healers too, the economists could be teachers also, and the business people were artists as well. Too much focus and we tend to lose the bigger picture, the things that allowed us to focus in the first place.
