The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while stupid ones are full of confidence.

I believe that you are almost 100% correct. Except in my experience, the problem with this world is that dumbshits and assholes breed. And that's the only thing they do right. This phenomena isn't just located to a single country or skin tone. It's universal. It seems to be an unfortunate but very human trait.
These dumbshits and assholes breed. Do fuck all in the way actually raising their kids to not be the same dumbshit or asshole that their parents where/are. Kids do dumbshit, don't get told off for doing dumbshit. Sometimes , the dumbshit parent/s will actually tell off the people or person who caught out their little dumbshit doing dumbshit things.
Now, assholes however only ever give a shit about themselves and the assholes closest to them and "who cares" about everything else. Assholes (in my experience) tend to think their shit don't stink. And when in full swing, try to spread as much shit over any given situation as possible. Usually in an attempt to either elevate themselves so that they are "in the right" whenever they get called out for their shit, or to bring everyone involved down (or up) to the same level of shit.
But that's just my experience.

You're absolutely right. Confidence is a stronger survival trait than intelligence. Though if you have both that is the most powerful combination.
Confidence provokes fear in overthinkers, and can cause them to assume they have a hidden advantage.
So most go unchallenged, or if challenged are usually great at saving face. They also tend to self doubt less which can improve performance in many tasks.
Intelligent people tend to overanalyze and become burdened by the probability of failure because of their in depth knowledge of a topic. Which can lead to inaction because they want the "best" plan. I like to call this phenomena "The mind wipe." Which isn't studied nearly as much as it should be.
Women don't give a shit about intelligence when compared to confidence. But if no one else is more confident, than intelligence is sexy.

Then those selecting the person are equally incompetent (or it is a political vote and there are "agendas").

the underlying reason it seems (from follow-up studies) is because of how people judge themselves. idiots tend to think they're right just "because that's what it is!" or for some pseudo-reason (usually a logical fallacy) such as "mr. smith says it is and he's a genius so it must be right", and generally don't think of other possibilities. smart folks on the other hand do tend to have sound logical reasoning behind what the believe to be true.
you'll see it in the 2 main types of internet comments:
"this is wrong" (type 1) or "this is wrong. if it were right then (reasoning)" (type 2).
the only caveat is that some intelligent people will delibaretly make type-1 statements because they know they are speaking falsely and don't have a reasoned supporting argument.
