+104 A technocracy is more likely to become a dystopia than a utopia, amirite?

Well no duh... when's the last time you saw the smartest person in a group being the leader? More times than not, it's the idiot who ends up in charge. I'm not saying that there aren't any smart leaders, but in order to be a leader, you need more than technical knowledge, you also need the ability to... lead, motivate, inspire, and connect with the people you're leading. However someone who is smart isn't going to realize that his or her (as if ha, the thought makes me laugh) followers might need "leading" (because smart people are usually independent workers, so they'll assume that everyone will just do their share) because they will assume that they are just as smart as them and if they're not then they'll think they're idiots, beyond their help.

Omg. It has a +6 and it's sandwiched between posts that have +70 and +90. This has to be a record.

With all the screens, it might just end up as a bunch of people with myopia.

Which is better: an army of asses led by a lion or an army of lions led by an ass?
