I’d like to think I wouldn’t, but my chances probably aren’t any better than the average person. I don’t think I’d ever get anywhere near the worst leaders in history, but I wouldn’t count on me being perfectly incorruptible.

But even if I was, that wouldn’t be enough. Either I’d have to run the entire government myself, which is impossible, or I’d have to reliably find other incorruptible people to work for me and replace me when I die, which will never be reliable enough. If I didn’t find incorruptible people, what’s to stop them getting bribed into not letting me do anything until I let the corrupt people have their way?
