    I think that’s a comforting assumption. They are not unfathomable intelligent but they are more intelligent than most people. If they were average, society could reign them in easily.

      I suppose it depends on how dumb you think the average person is. I’ve worked for the outragously rich and successful and it’s definitely not their intelligence that got them where they are. Bezos, Musk, Theil, Gates are all successful because they were in the Right Placetm Right Timetm and have a relentless drive to get what they want.
