Third, we have direct observational evidence that high intelligence doesn't confer power or influence, good or bad.
Take a look around: all the most powerful people today and in the past are by and large very average. A few are pretty smart, a few are dumb as rocks. Most are mid. None became powerful due to their vast intellect.
They do tend to have high social skills (and inherited wealth). The ability to manipulate/motivate people does give you power. Intelligence does not.
