Political Genius

Tom Ball

    Once upon a time, there was a man who embarrassed everyone by showing off how clever he was. He made people feel inferior and mediocre.
    So finally, the people burned him at the stake for witchcraft and making deals with the Devil.
    His mistake was he wasn’t humble and over the Millenia of human evolution those clever people who were not humble largely died out/were killed. No great genius ever ruled a country for this reason.
    “If you want to kiss the sky, you gotta learn how to kneel.”- U2
    Then there was a guy who was a genius and humble and peaceful, but people voted for anyone they thought was wise and they voted for him. It was a rare case of a polymath/Renaissance Man getting control of power.
    But once in power he found that he could not do much and was tied up in gridlock. He told them he wanted to develop peoples’ minds to the maximum and enhance their minds with apps. He wanted the best for everyone.
    And he said, “There’s no need for cloning or androids or holograms. The human race is quite fine as it was, it just needed a bit of a boost.”
    Many tried the apps he offered and were impressed and felt ecstatic!
    People claimed to be suddenly enlightened.
    Despite the gridlock, “The Intelligence Bill,” went through the UN parliament and the World was changed.
    The app made people cleverer as well as kinder and almost everyone thought it was good.
    So, the good people of Earth colonized the stars with intelligence and kindness and everyone of the astronauts brotherly loved all the others.
    It was a euphoric love in.
