Why does power corrupt?

This applies to every aspect of life, from someone who is a boss with subordinates to neighborhood associations, NGOs, politicians, organizations, and so on.

All power eventually leads to corruption; it’s inevitable, and the great John McAfee explains it perfectly.

And if you accept this, you accept that living in society sucks and that the Unabomber was right.
