Sarajevo Safari is the name for an alleged war tourism phenomenon during the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996) involving human hunting. According to the reports, wealthy foreign nationals were enabled, for large monetary fees, to shoot at civilians in the besieged city with sniper rifles for entertainment purposes.
Money/power corrupts.
If you’ve had a taste of power at work, say in middle management, you probably know what I mean. Imagine that 1000X stronger. Hand almost anyone a billion dollars, and they’ll quickly lose their compassion and empathy.
You’re not immune, you just don’t have access.
I believe that the type of people who are “corrupted” by power are typically the ones who seek it. I feel like there are plenty of people who wouldn’t be corrupted by power, but they’re the ones who do not seek power, and thus are rarely in positions of large amounts of power.
