Emotionally naive, intellectually lazy people are easily mislead and controlled. It's hard to accept that millions of people are either incapable of thinking for themselves (underdeveloped, borderline personality disordered people) or unwilling to, because they lack innate curiosity and a higher capacity for cognitive function. This describes MOST people in our world.
It doesn't take a genius to rise to control (think, Joe Biden here) it merely takes someone capable of convincing the NON-bright, they should climb on-board with whatever "facts" are being spoon-fed to them, which promise a sense of belonging and unity they've craved their entire lives, due to having been raised by emotionally impaired parents. One never outgrows these deficits, without highly specialized, unconventional intervention, which helps one literally grow emotionally, so that their inner development can be congruent with their chronological age.
Bright, emotionally developed, self-actualized people KNOW they don't fit in with the herd. They are head and shoulders above the 'average' mentality. Some become Shepherds for peace and good, but they're often outnumbered by those less intelligent, who try to compensate for their insecurities by seizing power over the masses who crave guidance and leadership, because they are virtually children trapped in adult-sized bodies. Klaus Schwab and George Soros are two of the most dangerous, diabolically narcissistic males living today.
So true. I think gates is there too. Behind the geeky looks. There is a huge desire to control and dominate. He networks with Soros and Schwaub to coordinate their financial shenanigans and profit as they think they are the only ones who knows what the herd really wants.
