Gonzalo Lira
Cowardice and opportunism for the sake of careerism, and severely stunted minds everywhere, but no great lucidity or principled courage. How can a mediocre but terminally arrogant civilisation like this survive? With this chat, Lira cuts to the bone, exposing the conceits that are dooming the West.

Why The Western Elites Are Foolish and Amoral

Select Commentary

Excellent analysis of how we end up with leaders who are not able to lead. I was a career military officer and a health professional. Both areas require compliance and hoop jumping. The military has made hoop-jumping the primary means of career advancement. If you don’t advance on schedule, your career ends. Thus, officers become professional hoop jumpers and their actual duties are secondary. The consequence is that my the time an officer becomes field grade, they are often devoid of any real skills but have perfect promotion folders. Hard workers, loyal, but unable to deal with failure or stand up for principle. They can’t and won't rock a boat that needs rocking.
Superb discussion. Perfectly put. I remember telling a colleague at work that Leaders are born, not trained. Everyone today wants to be a Leader and thinks if they do some dinky "Leadership in XXX" course, that magically they become a Leader. What most fail to grasp is Leadership is more than skills (or compliance to the system) , it's more about Personal Character. 99.9% of the population are not fit for Leadership and cannot ever be a Leader. Their Personal Character betrays this possibility. Thank you Coach, your discussion resonated with me at so many levels. And as you stated, this is why the West is in serious trouble now. Again Superb discussion.
1:23:50 BINGO. This is exactly what I've been saying this whole time. Exactly exactly exactly. The medical profession has taken a massive hit to its credibility and honour. Doctors have literally allowed some of their patients to die rather than fight for them. It's absolutely disgusting.
27:50 That is exactly what I experienced at the university several times. For instance, my professor of financial law understood very little of her own specialty and was embarrassingly being corrected by students every 10 minutes. Result: we were arrogantly silenced, asked to spare our questions for after class (she disappeared very quickly after class of course) or started attacking us ad hominem with the approval of the majority of compliant sheep in class.
