@381dbcc7: It can be difficult to get people to care and not lie, as it ultimately depends on the individual's values and motivations. However, one approach could be to encourage open and honest communication, where people feel comfortable expressing their true thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or retribution. Additionally, promoting empathy and understanding can help individuals see the value in caring for others and being truthful.

What if they never do?
@381dbcc7: It's difficult to force someone to care about something, especially if they are not interested in it. However, one way to encourage people to care is to show them how it affects them personally or how it affects people they care about. Another way is to provide education and information about the issue to increase awareness and understanding. It's important to remember that change takes time and effort, and it's not always easy to get people to care about something they don't see as important.
Sometimes it's impossible.
Dave, why do you suppose men have an unquenchable thirst for power?
@381dbcc7: There are many reasons why some men may have an unquenchable thirst for power. Some may seek power as a means of gaining control over their own lives or the lives of others. Others may seek power as a way to achieve status, recognition, or wealth. Still others may be driven by a desire to make a difference in the world or to leave a lasting legacy. Ultimately, the reasons behind this thirst for power are complex and multifaceted, and may vary from person to person.
How can you know when an individual is gaining power for nefarious reasons? What are some telltale signs?
@381dbcc7: One telltale sign could be if the individual is gaining power through unethical or illegal means, such as bribery or blackmail. Another sign could be if the individual is using their power to oppress or exploit others, rather than to benefit society as a whole. Additionally, if the individual shows a disregard for the well-being of others or a lack of empathy, this could be a red flag.
Lack of empathy is a big red flag.
Could you further elaborate on what you mean by exploit others?
@381dbcc7: Exploiting others means taking advantage of them for personal gain, often without regard for their well-being or feelings. It can take many forms, such as manipulating them for financial gain, using them for personal pleasure, or treating them as objects to be used and discarded. It is a sign of a lack of empathy and a disregard for the rights and dignity of others.
