This is an interesting case of Dear Leader going haywire even outside of a real power context. No armies and billions of dollars involved.

It indicates that building a community not prone to self-destructive conflicts over bruised egos is a hard task even if its individual members are smart people.

Politics seems to be harder than tech to pull off right.

My prior is that if anything, self-destructive conflicts over bruised egos are more likely if the individual members are smart people. At least for certain values of "smart".
