Have you considered the possibility that there may be a large population of individuals that exhibit serious narcissistic behavioral issues which contribute to our inability to move humanity forward? This may explain their persistent, resilient and ongoing inability to self-regulate, in view if more logical and structured constructive thinking patterns? That such individuals simply don’t have the capacity to understand, empathize, and move us all forward to a better place, while stunting the growth of those of us that do, sadly? I am starting to believe this as the model tainting us all on this beautiful but mentally damaged planet.

In my opinion, most of the moneyed elites in high office are sociopaths or psychopaths. Judging by their actions, they couldn't care less what happens to the unwashed masses. All they care about is their endless pursuit of wealth and power. No empathy for others; no guilt; no remorse over the harms they have caused. The very definition of psychopathy and sociopathy.

Research has shown that people with power actually tend to develop anew, or sink deeper into, those traits over time. My personal belief is that they likely reached their lofty positions of power in part by not caring who they had to run over to get there.
