This is capitalism
It is not capitalism and this is not me defending it, but rather pointing out that it is how humanity naturally seems to structure itself. The narcissist / psychopaths / sociopaths tend to get into “leadership” positions and the dumb folks idolize and empower them and thus we end up with the smartest people writing a few paragraphs for the manager who is socially savvy but suffers from the Dunning Kruger Effect. This happens in all economic and political systems including Capitalism and Communism as the Sam people tend to get into positions of power.
