Power destroys empathy

If power were a prescription drug, it would come with a long list of known side effects. It can intoxicate. It can corrupt. It can even make Henry Kissinger believe that he’s sexually magnetic. But can it cause brain damage?

Tl;dr: yes.

(Yeah, I know. Water, wet.)

What's most interesting to me is that even when the people affected know exactly what's happening and why, they can't consciously fight it.

Hi folks

I went on a friending (er, grant-access and subscribe) spree. I went looking around and if I recognized your handle from the old LJ days I added you. If you recognize mine and the memories are at all positive, please add back. :)
