Huh, that's a pretty apt analogy. Lending establishment cred is at least part of why they would pick Summers. But I really do think that on such a small board, Summers, unlike Kissinger, may have an active role to play, even if only as a mediator.

Btw, I would not be pleased if Kissinger were on this board in lieu of Summers. He's already ancient, mostly checked out, and yet still I'd worry his old lust for power would resurface. And with such a mixed reputation, and plenty of people considering him a war criminal, he'd do little to assuage the AI-not-kill-everyone-ism faction.
