@socratesthegadfly that's also self-organisation, at the decade-century level wrt governments and companies... but the use of the roads, daily, seems to demonstrate a high quality of self-organisation, don't you think?

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@happyseaurchin who maintains the roads when washed out by rain, or storms, or frost heaves? who pays for those people who build and repair the roads? roads do NOT build themselves.

i practiced self-organising principles in my classrooms... i've tried to translate that into the adult world, and the only reason it hasn't worked is because adults don't try... non-organisation thinking is best exemplified by the use of roads: you don't need to put in a claim, establish your goals etc, you just get on the road, make your own way, and share the road with others... and with the net, we don't need centralised control, nor cog-wheel role-interlocking that constitute institutions

ananmosity toward power doesn't make everyone a good leader. If leadership is possible through "a review committee... called at random" we should expect mistakes. Would those mistakes be worse than those of a centralized government? A potential problem lies in his ontology (theory of everything), that organizational principles are possible without strict governance.
