It has to be leaderless
As we understand the risks. Power
corrupts
Dopamine makes fiends of Kings and
Queens
Makes schooled folly and bullies
Makes a mass, a forest from trees and
the rest of us.
The attraction of hierarchy, addiction
Of our institutions,
Manacled to mammalian mating patterns
As natural as they are arbitrary.
Did the enlightenment ever happen?
This great hubris of humanity.
We ape gods.
It has to be leaderless
Poly-centric, poly-archy, poly-anna
Democratically selected technocrats and
planners
In a structure of proper etiquette and
manners.
That is, checks, gibbets and balance.
Connected and injected with
All affecting the manor.
It has to be leaderless
A network that gets the best work
Tests first, then iterates
Builds and communicates all that is
great.
It has to be leaderless.
II.
It has to be transparent
Infinitely perspicacious
Clearer than water
Clearer than glass
It has to be like optics and maps
Like microscopes, telescopes
Stethoscopes for every bloke
To slice and dice
Comb out vices, ticks and lice.
It has to be so transparent
That the path of every penny
Is crystal clearly apparent.
Every signatory and functionary
Every spreadsheet and file
Every phone number dialed
It has to be transparent.
