Assuming foolishness is indeed normally distributed, someone among us is the most sensible individual to ever walk the earth; they know exactly what to do to solve any problems humanity may have, and if they became the leader of the entire world there would be boundless peace and prosperity for all. Unfortunately they're probably far too sensible to speak up ;)
