Thanks to assholes

Because we will never be free of assholes, regardless of the system.

But surely you can see how a system that rewards asshole behavior is part of the problem here? Maybe we'd have fewer assholes if the system didn't reinforce the behavior and train new assholes every day. Maybe over time, over multiple generations, we could eliminate assholes almost completely

There's a reason we've never seen this mythical system you're speaking of. People, in general, are assholes and will act in their own best interests every time.
