The scary part is when you realize how many public figures in politics and economy have that same overly confident and delusional character. i have the growing feeling a huge part of the troubles in the western world comes from drug use in people in power positions.

I think it's more like being overly confident and delusional is a prerequisite for being a successful politician, whether you use drugs or not.

I mean, how else are you going to convince people to vote for you? You need two things: a vision for a better future (hence "delusional"), and confidence that you can achieve it.
