I will check out the site. I have a fundamental question - is there a moral basis to the structures created? The corruption is within each of us. Human flourishing has occurred when we had a common moral basis. The moral underpinnings have been knocked out. Throughout history this leads to the corruption and failure of societies & culture. Liberty, self-governance and decentralization are actually Biblically supported. Not sure we can get there without acknowledging our corrupt natures - but the effort is worth it.

I will study the references more but I think any human systems that produce value are subject to corruption. Also, if this is analogous to a nation state with resources and economic value, do you not think the leaderless state will not also be attacked by a conventional state as has happened throughout history? Great idea and trying not to be a pessimist ( I am an optimist by default, actually to a fault) but as you point out trust is the key. Apologies if you are addressing this in your references I have not read yet.

Great list of resources on your swarm academy site. I must delve into these and understand what you're proposing better. It's intriguing and I'd like to read about some cases where this has worked, which I'm assuming I can find in the resources.

I wouldn't call em maniacs.

It is the end product of "you can grow up and be anything" mentality.

Which has now transmogrified into "You can do anything you want and noone will stop you if use use a "you are nothing but an XXXist" reply.
