If you abuse a dog you will condition it to bite strangers. This is not because the dog has an inherent disposition to bite people, it is because the conditioning it has received prompts it constantly to do so.

As I said earlier, physically, literally, neuro-scientifically, power is a drug. When you think of power, think of injections of heroin + speed + ecstasy + alcohol speedballed into the pleasure centers of the brain. Ever heard the expression 'drunk on power'? It's not just a figure of speech.

As soon as a system or structure of power over others is created, you will create an equivalent amount of corruption, as certainly as night follows day. It is not anyone's fault, it is just how man is. Therefore, the only way not to have corruption is to not have a system of authority. Hence anarcho-capitalism / voluntaryism.

This nature IIRC stems from the override capacity of old reptilian brain. Humans have essentially two brains in the skull, the old animal brain which deals with all the direct physical stuff: fight or flight, sex, food, sleeping, pleasure, and the rational brain which deals with cognition general. When given the chance or brought to the opportunity, the old brain will completely override the thought centers of the new brain. Humans have no choice about it -- and you will see it if you ever see someone do something stupid in a panic, like throwing water on an oil fire. The only way to avoid the activation of the old reptilian brain is to avoid situations which we know will activate it.

Wasnt it you, Sythe who said "You can't disprove certainty without first invoking it"? Considering this statement, this entire conversation is rendered pointless.
 
There is a really good set of *anime* books on this topic. They're called Deathnote. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Basically a teenager gets hold of this note pad, where if he writes someone's name in it, He can choose how they die and when. It's really well written. (I'm only half way through the series). It goes over how he very worried at the start but he then grows in confidence and power. He then begins his quest to rid the world of evil.
Personally, I would let nature run it's course, but I would destroy the world's most evil people.
 
Wow, if I were god? Well, this is a tough question, you'd have everything you'd ever wanted, and live forever and know everything? Well, If I were god -- i'd make it so I wasn't god anymore, simply because it'd be boring.

The hypothetical is actually not worth exploring. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you produce an absolute power hypothetical, then you just reproduce the Stanford prison experiment, but 100,000 times worse. Power is a drug, it takes over the personality and short circuits empathy and reason in the human psyche. This is not a guess, it has been proven over and over again in behavioral studies.

Have any of those studies replicated the power the OP is talking about though?
