It often seems that modern democracies naturally favor the rise of egoistic personalities — those most driven by self-promotion, dominance, and manipulation of public image — rather than genuinely public-spirited individuals. As a result, the proportion of narcissists and opportunists among elected officials appears far higher than in the general population.
Do you think this is an unavoidable feature of democratic competition — that the system itself rewards egoism — or could it be mitigated by alternative models, like sortition, where representatives are chosen by lottery rather than election? Would such a system produce leaders with more authentic social responsibility?
