I've never observed a correlation between high intelligence and correctness. Some of the smartest people on the planet are delusional. Delusions of grandeur can be a sign of intelligence. Aside from that, desire also plays a big part. If they have the desire to run the world, the knowledge that they can't will probably be brushed aside.

Honestly, I don't think that's how it works. Smart people could be outnumbered a trillion to one and they would still probably rule the C students. Of course, this is taking "C students" in the sense of intelligence, not actual grades. If we look at actual grades, there are probably a lot of highly intelligent people making C's.

I've definitely noticed this in my dating life. I've had a lot of decent-looking women who I just couldn't stand because of their stupidity and some others who weren't as good-looking. It never seems to last because I've yet to find anyone who lives up to my standards.

that article gave me cancer

That list says atheists are more intelligent because of their "preference for logic and proof." What utter bull$#@!. You know, I'll even grant that that they may be smarter, on average, than religious people, but it's not because they dismiss superstitions. When you really get down to it, the empiricist/humanist worldview is just as unfounded as a religious one. It's accepted on faith. That said, people who are skeptical and intelligent may tend more toward a scientific worldview because of its empiricism, but then fail to realize that there is more to the universe than that. In other words, they are smart enough to do science, but not smart enough to think outside the science box. It's the truly smart ones who accept religious ideas based on reason rather than blind faith, which happens to be most people because there are just more stupid people than there are smart ones. Given that the stupid people outnumber the smart ones, it stands to reason that they would bring the average down and make atheists appear to be the cream of the crop when, in reality, they are just amateur thinkers.
Of course, this is mostly conjecture, but you've got a solid case when you add to it the anti-religious propaganda that's being spread in the more well-off countries of Europe, Asia, and the US. These countries have higher IQs in part because of their high standards of living, but combine that with the fact that they're all engaging in anti-religious propaganda and it's no wonder the countries with more atheists tend to be the smarter ones.

Actually, that's precisely what we need.
Well, I shouldn't say "we," as that's rather nonsensical isn't it?
...we having absolute power (absolute power is by definition undivided).
Someone (matters not who: anyone of modest intelligence and not insane will do) needs to have absolute power.
Proprietors tend to maintain their property: contra the tragedy of the commons.
