are there any human institutions that have zero corruption?

at an abstract level, social creatures and zero corruption seem to be at opposite ends

Rephrasing this: does power necessarily corrupt?

Which begs the question what is corruption? I guess doing something that helps self instead of group or worse that harms group.

Which is shortsighted as helping group helps self more. Question of inability>delayed gratification?

So maybe solution is a system that rewards ability for delayed gratification with power? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Idk, I find corruption more often happens at the end of empires than at the beginnings. Maybe I’m forgetting examples but isn’t the beginning of empires usually with a drop in corruption? Idk I might be making this up lol.

Maybe corruption isn’t all bad

America has institutionalized corruption

Corruption is a good way to get stuff done esp in emerging markets
