Something I've been toying with for a while. The idea that when you're in a "position of power", meaning that your actions impact a lot of people, you morals should be impaccable.

You know how everytime a politician gets attacked, we get corroborating witnesses and recounts, yet the message remains that "innocent until proven guilty". The standard of proof is pretty high, and on some of these financial or sexual scandals (well especially often on the sexual ones), the truth never comes out, people never get convicted, or they settle. And they come out unscathed, their stellar reputation cleaned by a justice which did its job. Everyone knows they're guilty, but technically they're "not".

Well I think that when you're in a position of power, the standard of proof should be lowered a little. There are a lot of people who are smart enough to take those positions, so maybe if you're quite strongly suspected to have done something wrong, you should not be in power anymore? And yeah, maybe it's unfair because in fact you did nothing, but also if this were truly a servant role, then maybe we can expect to be served by someone who doesn't have suspicious ties? Doesn't mean you should be jailed, but you shouldn't be in power anymore.

Similarly with large corporations. They lay heavy on that they're just victims of a market where only the survivors get a part. Maybe that's not a good system, then? Maybe these billion/trillion corporations should be held to some standard of morals? And maybe if being moral is cause for death, maybe we should change the system?
