I do not like distributed, community-driven leadership. The more leadership is shared, the more arguments there are, and the less gets done.

I would rather have a strong dictatorship focused on technical merit, to be deposed in the future for another dictator, again, based on technical merit.

Normally when I see people say something like this, what they actually mean is "based on technical merit (and also has the right opinions that agree with mine)". The concern is that democracy will produce outcomes they find disagreeable.
