Leaders need "an understanding of the human condition"--but that's impossible for many of them because they have been separated from the rest of us by their wealth and power resulting in the dangerous situation we are now witnessing.
Yes and we must remember that all Russians including Putin passed through a very difficult time of the "human condition" which no nation in the West experienced.

The world of mind and matter, of names and shapes, continues, but it does not matter to me at all. It is like having a shadow. It is there -- following me wherever I go, but not hindering me in any way.
It remains a world of experiences, but not of names and forms related to me by desires and fears. The experiences are quality-less, pure experiences, if I may say so. I call them experiences for the lack of a better word.
They are like the waves on the surface of the ocean, the ever-present, but not affecting its peaceful power.
In the beginning, all experience is nameless, formless and undefined. It is only desire and fear, born of memory, that give it name and form and separate it from other experiences. It is not a conscious experience, for it is not in opposition to other experiences, yet it is an experience all the same.
Desire and fear are the obscuring and distorting factors. When mind is free of them, the unconscious becomes accessible.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (Indian Advaita Vedanta Guru, Bombay, april 1897 – september 1981)
'i' am the Conscious Space in which the Universe happens.
For humans you could name it:
" The '3D sensorimotor space plus feelings Gestalt' definition of (non-verbal / wordless) 'reality'. "
The brain produces from its sensory input a virtual reality of a body in surrounding space and produces feelings that trigger responses of that body that are meant for the survival of its genes.

JM - you and your readers might find this insightful - which I first saw at Vox Day:
"Learning is uptaking new knowledge or understanding and responding accordingly going forward. Assimilating data into a coherent evolving world view........
......Making the inability to learn not being able to to uptake new knowledge and change or respond accordingly going forward. No evolving understanding of the world based on a growing knowledge base. Only a base level grasp from directions or early formation that doesn’t change. Even when contradictory information is clearly understood intellectually.
So learning from information is a process while FTS-2 and NPC are categories
To equalize them, we'd have to refer to [people who can’t learn from information]. Break down the differences. Categorically, FTS-2s are narrative huffers. That covers a range from some autonomy within the House of Lies parameters to full-blown NPCs. The NPC is the low-agency subset of FTS-2.
There are levels to this that are too detailed for more than a mention. Some can make adjustments within a frame of reference but ricochet off when the frame comes into question. If you’ve experienced it, it seems like a weird mental glitch / reset that’s actually noticeable." - https://theunclejohnsband.blogspot.com/2024/10/information-processing-and-functional.html?m=1 - read it all!

The social pace of events is too fast to learn from any mistakes so we have no leaders. Just the violent anarchy they have created .
Who has learned from mistakes made is Russia China, Iran all of whom had revolutions against the primitive mindsets we see now escalating War.
Thinking is a beautiful pursuit.
Party to celebrate you can!!!
What can be better than coffee with Blaise and Julian? I am paying for our three coffees.
Merry Julian Christmas in case I get bogged down with stuff. My Christmas is spent with Gregory on Jan 7.
I suppose 'listening' is a huge part of being a leader also asking questions and really thinking before replying.
I watched Putin answering questions with Reporters: He heard every word and replied with what I think was sincerity.
A 'leader' cannot be all things to every person but empathy with detractors might be useful.
WOW...
I have no words...

I added my experience to it in a reply (multiple tweets):
.
Thank You. 🙏
As you are moved by these words, i sense you could be Autistic, like me. I mainly 'think in pictures'.
I have this addition for you:
The experience is there. The content of Consciousness.
Some call it Māya (माया), a projection, a 'Cosmic Illusion' like that from a Hologram when polarised light shines on it.
I call it a 4D Projection from the only but in itself unknowable Reality, a (complex of interacting) Quantum Field(s).
OK ?
Well then take another look and you will realise that you are the light of Consciousness, not the EGO that pops up in the projection some of the time.
You experience the 4D Universe (also called the 'Big Bang Event'), but you ARE NOT PART of it like Wittgenstein remarked...
🙏

In addition...
'i' am not part of the Universe.
'i' am the Conscious Space in which the Universe happens.
For humans you could name it:

The World can be seen because of the light...
He explains Consciousness.
Without that NOTHING exists.
Jesus was a prophet.
He had seen "The Light" and tried to show that and live and die according to that light.
.
I noticed that most great religions are based on ONE who had seen the light and has been trying to translate that into words.
But those words can be understood in, or be manipulated to, other meanings.
.
But The Truth cannot be expressed in words...
It just is. And: Thou art That.

FYI!
Hola Julian. Siempre la lectura diaria de tu columna es interesante. Gracias por el esfuerzo de estar ahí.
Sobre líderes quiza sería interesante revisar a Deng Xiaoping, puede que tenga algo que aportar.
