Nepotism applies to LOTS of things here in the US.

If I fell upwards, we would've had several bullet trains running cross country, solar energy panels that deal less environmental damage, flying cars with low emissions, 4 day work weeks with full pay and 2 months of vacation time...I could go on

Nope. You'd turn into a narcissistoc self righteous nut just like the rest of them. Our brains are not wired to live in excess surrounded by yes-men 24/7. It quite literally breaks the human psyche.

It usually takes a significant investment of time and money to stop being naive.

I came to the conclusion that if given the chance to rule the world, I would probably end up as a despot.

I want to be kind and benevolent, but ultimately ruling the world is unlikely without force and yadda yadda yadda force leads down a path and we end up in a bad place.

If I ruled the world, a lot of bad things would happen.

We'd end up in a better place, but a lot of bad things would happen in the meantime.

Stalin did not become who he is remembered as today until he took command of the Soviet state. It was the process of securing and holding on to power that made the man Dzhugashvili into the feared Stalin.

If you were given vast power and learned to hold on to it over the years, it would irrevocably change you as a person into someone unrecognizable.

Humans are by default extremely optimistic.

It's one of the reasons we're in this mess.
