Is the possession of political acumen
a truly positive singularity which coupled
with that elusive trait, charisma sufficient
unto the day whose combination adequately
explains political skills that elevate the
swift to leadership posts? And if these
enviable traits leavened by characteristics
of sociopathy create world leaders, what
explains the paradox that politicians and
leaders in particular are universally held in
low public esteem? And now that a pathogen
lurks everywhere reputed in repeat doses to
reduce a superior functioning brain to a
lessened capacity, with one world leader
after another succumbing, the claims by a
disaffected public that the world is ruled by
incapable dolts may become a possibility. In
any event how would we know the difference?
