I watched again movies, a lot recently I’ve to admit, and one of them was the Bourne series of films (Matt Damon Trilogy). But it showed clearly, at least for me, how manipulative people become when they gain power and with that start, to stop caring about anyone else.

We see that perfectly - with mostly men, but women are the same - in countries like the US, GB, China, Russia, Iran, Brazil, … They don’t care about their people anymore, maybe blinded by their ego or mentally far beyond that already.

My question is, when they are getting so good in manipulating, why they are losing their common sense, instead of at least trying to positively influence people?
