So did we design a system that only rewards psychopaths and rapists? Because it seems like anyone with any ounce of power is a psycho, a rapist, or both.

All systems so far for the entirety of human history have rewarded psychopaths and rapists as far as I can tell.

Agreed, sadly. I mean look at Moses. Seriously, read the chapters about him going up the mountain, coming back with the big list of rules, then ordering the killing thousands of the people who'd followed him into the desert, because they didn't obey the rules while he was away getting the big list of rules. Psycho.

Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’ ” The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.
