This is a somewhat questionable belief, but I kind of think we need to switch societal expectations from, "We don't want delusional assholes in power," to, "We don't want the delusional assholes in power to be able to destroy society." Yes, it would be easy if all people in power had our best interests at heart, but we all know by now that they don't and I'd like to think that we have enough history behind us to know they never will. As I mentioned yesterday, it's possible to have a world where the overly powerful and crazy don't pose a threat, and I think that benefits everyone. Especially the powerful and crazy, because they can interact with normal people more easily when they know what is and isn't acceptable and the rest of the world knows they're not a threat.
