It's hard to see how authority improves upon human nature. In every example I can think of, authority only amplified the power and effect of the worst parts of human nature.

things have governance and hierarchy whether you like it or not... its built in bro.

natural authority is a real thing... we give trophies to such people and tend to elevate them and their qualities as things to aspire to.
