Luckily, such innate drive and desire to dominate can be funnelled into something more productive and less detrimental to others.
Instead of becoming a president and starting wars of aggression, why not try sports? How about becoming an academic, an expert in some esoteric field, and spend your days acquiring intellectual territory and terrorising your intellectual opponents?
Or use your greed to start a business that somehow ends up benefiting us all even whilst making you richer than all of us.

Being good at athletics requires specific good genetics. > acquiring intellectual territory Analytical intellect is not a valued trait in the current society. It will not increase your status in most cases. It actively works against you in certain social structures. Unless your intellectual territory grants you significant material benefits, there's no use out of it.

- salawat 2y agoPor que no los dos? Plug into the MIC, get into politics, get into constant "police actions", scratch other's politician's backs, and make bank. War is good business. Political power is absolutely something worth being bought/sought. Long as that is the case, the power hungry gonna seek power to wield, and they'll wield it to to their own ends; and realistically, once they're locked in as having it, it isn't for you or anyone else ultimately.
