      Because most people just want to live, and not rule. Those that want to rule are not good people. And the authoritarian hierarchy we live under will always have the money, will, and means to hinder any progress made by the majority of the population that just wants to live.

        The Peter Principle means they’re incompetent, not bad guys. You’re thinking of Plato’s “philosopher kings”.

          Not philosopher kings. I think being a bad guy displays incompetency. And our system incentivizes sociopathy throughout the strata of hierarchy.
