Why has humanity not been able to end corruption? \ stacker news ~AskSN

I recently read the book "The 48 Laws of Power" by the writer Robert Greene, and I deduce that's where the mystery came from...

Before I opened my mind, the concept of corruption was...

CORRUPTION = POLITICIANS

The main reason for my thinking is that I come from a country with 30 years of socialism (not Cuba)...

And during a 10-year period, I had to confront the situation of corruption in a more brutal way, even going as far as the simple task of obtaining basic food for my family...

Until I was able to obtain my passport, for which I had to pay three times its actual price because supposedly, after a 3-month wait, the ID and immigration office never had any material to print them!

But at the same time, with a friend of my paternal uncle, I obtained the document in record time—48 hours (without anyone knowing 🤫)...

Thought changes, concepts adapt, even if you don't want to. Even if you're a person with principles, and your parents raised you correctly, and when you see corruption everywhere, you accept it as your way of survival.

With this, I'm not claiming to be the most correct or incorruptible person!

Come on, I'm just a normal person...

You yourself said it. Corruption is born from game theory: if one side can move the pieces at will at any time, as many times as he wants, and you can move yours as long as said side gets to dictate what piece, when, where, and how many times... and said side can not make any wrong moves, and all of his moves are victories, and has full authority to judge if a move of yours is wrong, and what's the punishment... the outcome is pretty obvious...
