Whut?? XD ...Okay, there is probably some similarity there (other than ficcers' proclivities), but 1) my sense is that Damon Albarn had excessive drive rather than lack of self-doubt, like dude just had a lot to prove to the universe for whatever reason, and 2) the movie didn't really convince me that Kirk was the smartest person in the room either, if only because Spock is clearly smarter than him. XD;; He is, arguably, the best person in the room at making the universe bend to his will.
