I think we can agree to disagree on that part about human nature. I've met plenty of nice people, but those aren't the ones I'm worried about. You seem to be suggesting we could create a system that could be corruption free indefinitely which has me very intrigued
No, just suggesting that people take charge of their future instead of just assuming that the system will work itself out. The best system is the one that encourages people to not only look out for each other, but also criticize and question each other. And do so freely without the need for financial backing to do so.
That only happens when people decide to work together for their goals, even if they occasionally have to work towards someone else's instead of their own. Which is entirely possible, no matter how dim a view of others one might have.
