because just like "benevolent dictators" they are very few and far in-between. and even this is debatable. for people to ascend to those levels of power and/or wealth they must inherently be, in essence, anti-social clinical psychopaths.

this is what the system selects for, this is what it encourages, and in the end these are the people it relies on to propagate itself.
