In the “Republic,” Plato as Socrates contends that only someone who will guard the laws and institutions of the state is qualified to rule.

Nowadays, anybody who puts themself forward as a Platonic guardian doesn't care about the laws and institutions of the country. Soros, Schwab, Gates, Bezos. Academics are even worse. Guardians like John Brennan (CIA), Michael Hayden (CIA), and James Comey (FBI) aren't to be trusted either.
