celebrating the best of human intelligence
compassionate societies care about their people and spare no expense to ensure every person has adequate nourishment;
callous societies don't care people because it is selfish soul for themselves;
cruel societies punish people for being poor, sick, lonely, or a minority;

loving nations welcome people into their midst;
hateful nations abduct people from the streets, fields, offices and homes;

empathy requires intelligence;
lack of empathy does not require a large, sophisticated brain as evidenced by insects which have a microscopic neural processing centre and zero empathy;
but to have a milligram of empathy, you need curiosity, critical and creative thinking;

Great leaders accept full responsibility for problems - figuring out what went wrong, how to fix it and who should fix it.
Terrible leaders blame others so they have a scapegoat when their amazing solutions fail.

it takes greater intelligence to understand and appreciate the humanity in those who are different than is necessary to understand those who are like us because the brain uses existing pathways to understand those like us but must forge new neural pathways to appreciate those who are different

a just and compassionate society grants every human being due process without exception, excuses or equivocation;
an cruel, callous society grants due process only to those with money to hire a dozen lawyers and press agents;

a just society believes every human is innocent until proven guilty through due process;
an unjust society believes every human is guilty until the supreme despots decides otherwise, and innocence is dependent on supplication;

Ethical bosses understand that if they get a 10% raise, then everyone gets a 10% raises because everyone contributed to the businesses success.
Selfish bosses believe they deserve a 20% raise because they saved money by firing 20% of employees.

Human intelligence gave us Good Vibrations, Bohemian Rhapsody, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Respect, Stairway to Heaven, millions of incredible tunes to sooth us, move us, sway us, inspire us, and bring us to our knees.

perhaps government does not need to be ultra efficient;
I just read a blog about slime mold that doesn't sever 'inefficient line' but preserves them for future possibilities, a strategy the author describes as intelligent.

Dear Elon, you don't like empathy? Well, . . . .

Bad leaders seek to make life better for themselves, and they blame everyone else for all the problems that happen. They accept no responsibility for any problems though they accept all the credit and glory for every success whether they did it or not.
