..."Human nature" is contingent on the systems We are using.  In systems that give Some power over Others (top-down controlmind, accounting for Human energy), We see psychopaths who are in control, doing things and blaming "Human nature."  No, the solution is not in expecting any Human to change first.  First We change the systems, then "Human nature" will follow.

I tend to disagree.  I do not see a "system" that cannot be abused.  Systems are based on rules, and with rules come rule-breakers, rule-interpreters, rule-enforcers and so on and so forth.
Human nature is no different from the rest of "nature"...being a consume and expend energy paradigm.  Life in this existence is predatory & terroristic.  To the prey, predators are always terrorists.  Regardless of the system - some will make it their life-ambition to exploit 'loopholes' to their advantage...based on the rules.
I would love to see a loopholeless system whose rules are equally good for all.
