In this episode, we discuss the properties of power. Many people like to assign a value to power – power is bad, they say. Power is good, they say. Power is actually just a neutral property. It is a quantity that different people, places, and things have different amounts of. Power can be used for good or evil, but power itself is neither of those things. Power can be concentrated and intentionally acquired by people, and power structures organize themselves spontaneously.
Sometimes, power structures become corrupted, and need to either be changed or destroyed by the people in them. But even when this is the case, changing it should be done in a cool, calm, and collected way, not in an angry and outraged way. Anger and outrage is useful only in the initial stage of becoming aware of problems and deciding to commit to solving them. But actually solving problems by implementing solutions is technically difficult and requires a clear mind. So power should be viewed objectively, even when it becomes corrupted. And if you need to improve a bad situation, do it calmly.
