Disappointed that NPR didn't elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

Yeah, I think the power trip of moderating some subreddit with millions of members is very seductive. Sadly, it seems very seductive to exactly the people I would not want moderating, but I'm sure ousting conscientious moderators for puppet dictators will alleviate this situation in the future of Reddit.

Right? RIGHT?!

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
