I have always said that education is too important to be left up to the educators. Expanding that thought; most everything is too important to be left up to the experts. There is definitely a place in this world for experts; but leadership is not one of them. Successful leaders must be humble and have strong moral character. They can always find an expert to give them advice. But it takes character and intuition to know when to use this advice.
I have not done a virtue forensics on Ramaswamy. With that said, trying to find a smart virtuous politician is a fools errand....instead, why not look at finding degrees of virtue or lack thereof?
An interesting anecdote from my time at Lehman, which was way before yours, was during a summer intern program they had in Harvard kids. each week we had an intern lunch where a different business head would come in and discuss their business. the Harvard kids were always the ones asking questions, but they were inane questions, either demonstrating they didn't understand the presentation, or more likely, that they wanted to show they were involved, but wound up missing the points. at the end of the summer, very few would get hired (I guess this may have been why they ultimately stopped recruiting there) and none of them lasted more than 6 months if they did get hired.

I believe ‘good looks" or true beauty is a much rarer commodity than you imply.

Since IQ is mostly taught in school...how do I develop higher EQ?
