Question For Freemont
How Do You Know Who Is a Good Leader?
  • How can we pick the best leaders?
  • Should they always do what most people want?
  • What should we do if they are corrupted by power?
Freemont's Answers

A good leader is a servant to his people and works to help establish a society so that all can be the best they can be. This is done without thought to adulation or reward. Many of humanities' greatest leaders lead by example.

  • We pick the best leaders by looking for those who have the greatest faith in us to do right.
  • The best leaders give us the opportunity to do what is right for ourselves and our world
  • If our leaders are corrupted by our system we must look at it and decide the best ways to assure they will not be harmed in such a way. We must correct the system that corrupts them, lest it do the same to anyone in their place.
