Power isn't the main driver, it's the desired outcome however. The main drivers would be control to be able to maintain a certain status or behaviour - arguably that you can't maintain due to what society deems is acceptable or that you couldn't lawfully gain ethically/legally.

- loceng 6y agoPeople want that power for a reason, there's an underlying reason - that reason is the driver.
- dTal 6y agoAre you sure? 1984 asserts otherwise, that those who seek absolute power do it for its own sake. It certainly seems plausible that people who seek power for its own sake will do so with more consistency than people who have an ulterior motive.
