>>938239325>Repeating until you get to the base reasoning. I've gone down that route plenty of times, which is why it was easy enough to recognize what this was a case of once I did so. Been doing it less since things have been going well enough.
>the ladder phraseAh, sorry. I meant to clarify but got distracted.
I think the 'price of power' is that one should be faced with increased accountability, scrutiny and (if applicable) punishment. This must come from down the hierarchy of power, since otherwise the power of said accountability/scrutiny/enforcement would be in the hands of the powerful, and thus ripe for abuse.
There is a lack of all of that. Too many of the reigns are in the hands of those who reap the benefits of abuse. "We have investigated ourselves, and have found no cases of wrongdoing" comes to mind.
I believe this is the first time I've ever talked about this with someone.

I see. Still gathering plenty, huh?
