Why the "Natural-Born" Leader is More Dangerous
From my perspective, the danger lies in the unpredictability of the human ego:
Irrationality: Unlike an economic system, which follows a certain (albeit flawed) logic, a Nero or Caligula might start a war simply to dominate a news cycle or to avenge a perceived personal slight.
The "Messiah" Complex: Leaders like Trump or Putin often present themselves as the only ones who can fix the world. This makes them immune to rational advice or institutional checks, as we saw in the Nero analogy.
The Zero-Sum Game: For these leaders, power is a performance where there can only be one star. This makes "win-win" diplomacy almost impossible.
