    We don’t choose egoistic people as ruler, egoistic people (and psychopaths) try to become rulers, regardless of the price or morality.

      Yet we chose candidates… even though the pre-selection is biased towards egoists.

      Looking at the current rise of populism ''we" actually seem to deliberately chose the most egoistic ones available.

      But nonetheless: Imho representation automatically leads to corruption by egoists so we should get rid of representatives all together (or at least try to rein them in by making it possible to remove them from office at any time )
