    In theory, an all-powerful benevolent dictator could use that power to restructure everything before stepping down. Problem is, the sort of person who would become an all-powerful dictator is the sort of person least likely to benevolently give up power.

      I’m all for handing one person all the power, as long as that person is me, because I don’t trust anyone to get it right.

      Unfortunately it’s going to be REALLY hard to convince everyone else of this.
