Interesting thought. I think you might well be right.

I guess having a politician in charge of the world is better than having humanity ended. :) But they are people who want power, and I find that disturbing. This might be a case where I'd actually prefer a successful actor, and they're pretty good with popularity contests, too. I think that for that purpose, being positive and open-minded would be more important than any knowledge. And you wouldn't need to have someone that smart, just not stupid.

The Rock for god-emperor! Or maybe RDJ can reprise his role as the creator of Ultron...
