According to Osho, priests, politicians, and thus governments aren’t truly unaware—they suppress awareness. Knowing the future holds crises they can’t solve, they keep people in the dark to avoid upheaval and protect power and image. Politics attracts mediocre, power-seeking minds with inferiority complexes, while the truly intelligent and creative remain powerless; hence leadership lacks vision and courage to face impending global dangers.
They hide the truth because they can’t fix it and want to keep control, while the smartest people aren’t in charge.
