CHAPTER

Exploring Humanity's Dark Side and Leadership

This chapter presents a philosophical inquiry into the nature of humanity, questioning whether malevolence stems from intrinsic evil or self-serving behavior. It critiques the inefficiencies of the U.S. healthcare system while examining accountability in leadership and governance amidst crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical parallels highlight the rise of charismatic leaders in times of hardship and the critical need for responsible leadership to avoid extremist outcomes.
