The successful leader of the distant future, if there is a distant future, is equal parts game systems designer, scholar, and philosopher, because opinion actually has very little to do with running a happy and successful society. The world-building will be equal parts circumstantial and the intermingled dreamings of multitudes. Most state functions, eventually likely to include leadership itself, will probably be handled by an AI. What we know today as politics is fleeting.
