If humans are so smart, then why have we consistently throughout history put the worst people in positions of power? Why have we never learnt not to do that?

@ronanmcd Ah. The illusion is that WE did that. Rather than they assumed power.

@Penguinflight yeah maybe saying we put them there is wrong as it's not always the case, but humanity is all about standing by, letting it all happen, over and over

@ronanmcd the worst people seek power.

@allancavanagh for sure. It just amazes me that over millennia we've seen the pattern and just been a bit "sure what're you gonna do?"

@ronanmcd not getting murdered by the sociopath seeking power incentivises a hands-off approach for many humans over thousands of years. 😄

@allancavanagh that's not a bad selling point, on balance
