Ya, it's funny how a thing called power "changes" a person's brain patterns and activities.
Frankly, I wish the phenomenon was more understood so that we can avoid this kind of stuff. But I think that the disposition to take and hold onto power is something that lurks deeper in the subconscious mind, and is something that's more omni-present within the individual than you think.
On one hand of the spectrum, you have someone like Bashar al-Assad who is willing to ruthlessly kill his own people so that he can stay in power, such that he doesn't have a country left to govern.
On the other hand, you have someone like George Washington who had all the power, and yet willingly gave it all up after serving only 2, 4 year terms as President of the United States.
I think that the primary difference between these two individuals is in their brain chemistry and their brain structure/function; genetically and memetically.
And, these are the clues that will, hopefully, lead us to unlocking the scientific secrets behind good and effective leadership.
Think about it.
Cause you're the only one who's losing out when you don't.
Think about it.
