Good, Mental Health, and Raging Leadership
“We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.” The term “banality of evil” was coined by Hannah Arendt in describing Adolf Eichmann’s testimony…

Good and the Problem of being a “For-Againster”
This is about either creating your way out of trouble or lounging in the passive position of simply being for-against. Creativity requires thought, courage, energy and concentration.
