You can see simple spontaneous order while walking in a huge crowd like you'll find in concerts or malls. When you need to go somewhere and it's crowded, you'll find someone to follow behind, and most likely someone behind you, will follow you, and so on. If that person, that is leading is too slow for your taste, you'll try to find your own route, and you'll become the leader. And the people behind you will most likely follow you.
There is no communication is needed. It is spontaneous.
I like that Hayek quote, hinting subtly at a separation between society and state. For a social scientist to attempt to define an industrial society by the state ruling over it, is like looking at an Arabian thoroughbred in motion, and deciding that its defining characteristic is a parasite which has burrowed into its skin.
Order is an emergent phenomenon. People who would tell you that they know otherwise aren't leaders. They're just sociopaths.
@109publius WOW you've been propagandized to boot! Yes 109publicus PRAISE our masters for the wonderful things they've done with us. DOWN with free choice!
Nice simple introduction. You would think that after at least 200 years(if not more) since the first systematic understanding of spontaneious order in the Scottish philosophers, & since Darwins theory is now known in its basics to all, that this video would not be needed. But it is amazing how many people I still come across who still wonder why we don't run society like a commune or Kibbutz or who just assume no qualitative difference between the two types of social order.
