Why isnt there a “best” leader? You arent making sense to me.
People want the best leader for their country. Voting is one method but it has flaws. Imagine holding an election with a bunch of 5 year olds voting. The 5 year olds are highly unlikely to vote for the most competent leader because they may not like what he says. The same can be said when uneducated people are voting.

What I mean is, in order for society to function optimally, you need a leader for each functioning unit within society. It is impossible for a single person to be the most qualified expert for even two of these roles, let alone all of them. The best you can manage is a jack of all trades. But a jack of all trades is a master of none. This truth can be demonstrated by observing the existence of advisors. No leader has ever been successful without the aid of advisors. In fact, there is a direct correlation between the quality of a leader and the cohesiveness of the advisors. The simple truth is that the best person for such a role is one who has no leadership skills. In fact, what they do need in vast excess is analytical skills. But the point is moot because their role is that of an unnecessary middle man. If you have experts leading each functioning unit within society, there is no need for them to even communicate with each other. Their jobs are that unrelated.
While they have advisors, they need to make decisions. People dont agree with each other easily and just because an advisor says something, it doesnt mean he is ultimately right. A leader needs confidence and a strong vision. Analysis is good but you need someone to get everyone to follow through even though they might not agree with what is being done.

Imagine society as a single organism. Each person in society is like a single cell of that organism. Your body is not fully controlled by your brain. Your heart does not have to wait for permission from your brain to pump faster. If it did, you'd die pretty easily. To relate that to society, you could think of blood as money or some universal resource. I'm not going to explain it any further; you have an imagination for a reason. Figure out the rest of the details yourself. It's not that difficult.
