Just read it. Also good to read the comments challenging his ideas.

Thanks for the heads up on the comments.

Just read it. I probably should have waited until my dinner had settled a bit first. I think he's nuts, a case for Freud. I think it would be less embarrassing for him if he did some psychotherapy. His life seems very insular, like he doesn't know life outside the narrow confines of business.

I’d like to see the whole interview. As much as I can see here he has two arguments - autocracy is more efficient, which is correct, but prohibited, for very good reasons, in our Constitution, and social progress, I.e. emancipation, has some problematic consequences. Also true, but what’s the alternative? Continuing slavery? Far worse.
The only thing of possible value is if you interpret his idea as boiling down to leaders who actually lead.
