If we look at the effect of hormones on behavior, and the field studies of primates, we can see its the alpha males who try to use force to control everyone so as to mate with more females. Hominid evolution shows how the efforts of the alphas to acquire more status symbols has also been used.
The alpha instinct however, combined with superior intelligence results in leadership that produces benefit for the whole community. Unfortunately, that intelligence is handed down more on the mtDNA, and so the sons of airheads inherit the same desire to want to dominate, but without the talent, resulting in the rancor of the impotent, terrorism, and demagogery.
The resulting demagogic leadership does not bode well....
