Yes, superior ability breeds superior ambition. But the question becomes - on what does the superior intellect focus this ambition?
Personally, I've accomplished a level of competence in my field that perhaps a dozen people on Earth can match. I have ~140 IQ, a great family, a lot of money, and a big johnson. I don't "need" to be President - in fact, I think I would make a poor one.
Is it getting warm in here, or is it me?
You’re too much Trog.
