Came here to say this, but take it further. Power is a function of survival and reproduction odds improvement. It may be that something else begins to shift that balance, but that flaw will never go away. We are just animals.
Power is desired in scarce societies when lack of power means lack of sufficient resources for survival and reproduction
Where those resources are available to all, then power be ones a function of aberration not necessity
With sufficient mobility and abundance invasion and tyranny will become like beating up water. Recently a guy in Syria asked advice on best European country for asylum. He had a job remote in Australia, so whilst looking like a refugee he was actually just moving house. Imagine is everyone on Syria right now had that option.
What if one day they gave a war, and everyone just left.?
