The assertion that political power proves competence is not always true. Perceived political power can sometimes arise from chaos. On the other hand competence always results in power but it is primarily rooted in information not chaos.
When we choose among paths to power it is important to distinguish which is based on information and which is based on chaos. One is creative the other is destructive. The former inhabits the space of answers the latter the much larger space of error.
It is sometimes useful to ask: what can a political movement do besides rearrange things and give stuff away? Can it actually do something constructive? When put that way the first 500 names in the phone book are often superior to the top 500 celebrities.
