Two perhaps unrelated issues. (Yet, both are neither about Slifkin or negativity.)
1) Is being a gadol like being on SCOTUS? There are times when we can see that a gadol is no longer acting in such a way as to give us the confidence that he still is, for lack of a better term, 100% all there. BTW, I'm not necessarily talking about the gadol I'm sure you're all assuming I'm talking about. There are others today, and there were others in recent years past. In a somewhat related note; what about if there is a gadol whose claim to fame is that he hates an entire group of people with a vengeance, and he forbids his followers from having anything to do with that group? What if modern science can perhaps reason that this gadol is merely suffering from PTSD and this is his way of dealing with it?
2) Yeshivas and life insurance for their rebbes. Every place I've ever worked had as a benefit a somewhat crappy life insurance policy. Why can't yeshivas do the same? The costs would be so little that a $50 tuition increase wouldn't be a major deal for most people.

Duns Scotus
Surnamed DOCTOR SUBTILIS, died 8 November, 1308; he was the founder and leader of the famous Scotist School, which had its chief representatives among the Franciscans. is this who you mean?
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the person's daily life.
NOW THAT CAN BE ANY ONE OF MANY GEDOLIM
Yes amshinover, our (2nd) moral leader. (Luke is 1) . You have all the answers. Brilliant.
They have started the life insurance program in many yeshiovos already. There is someone y the name of David (forgot his last name) that started the program to help yeshivos by insurance for all the rabeim. He has succeded with over 1000 already and aims for 3000 more. But work is in significant progress.
