[P2P-F] autocracy as most efficient governance?

Wed Jul 13 12:15:14 CEST 2011

If we dont differentiate between the 2 different reasons which influence the
organizational structure of Society, we will always fight with each other on
this issue.

1. We should have a structure that is Productive. In this Context, the
problem to be solved defines the structure.

2. If someone's actions have an impact on someone's else life there should
be a mechanism to control this impact.

If we accept 1 and not 2, we are very efficient for those that control the
structure. ex. TODAY.
If we accept 2 and not 1, we are all equally poor and that will be a reason
to revert to accepting 1 and not 2.

What we should do is stop fighting about what is the best 1 or 2, and start
finding secure mechanisms that will allow us to have both 1 and 2.

Eve is amazing, by the way. Whoever has time could read some of the stories
that took place there. They are highly entertaining.
