Smart, happy, and alive? That fits my observations. Not bad morally? Only in the Bay area. Also, I think that more successful people seem smarter etc due to halo effect, and the ability to seem smart and alive and generally appealing, even moral, is called social skill or charisma and contributes a lot to a person’s rise in power. You may have noticed that these people were also much better looking than average.
At the most elite gathering I have attended, the Clinton Giving Initiative, about one person in five was really interesting and shiny.
That said, my impression of start-ups is that relative to their importance the founder/CEO generally gets badly under-compensated. Successful founder/CEOs are generally extremely capable people in their domains.
BTW, there are plenty of management consultants to look over executive’s shoulders and pencil in corrections. Also, I keep telling you, Einstein was NOT a deist in the sense that you understand it. I wish someone would ask Carl Feynman why his dad didn’t sign up for cryonics given that he knew Drexler.
