"Every society has seven key pillars that shape its culture: the financial/business sector, education, family, religion, entertainment and arts, media, and government. While all of these are significant, government and religion are the most influential. If I had to choose only one, it would be government, as its impact reaches all these areas swiftly and decisively. When individuals who are ill-equipped assume government leadership, the consequences can be devastating, affecting generations. The dependency syndrome we see today can be traced back to the era of the one-party state. In short, more capable people need to step forward to serve at this level, or we risk being led by those lacking the necessary competence. That’s precisely what I’m striving to do."
