Also, I too am struggling with the hierarchical structure but have yet to find something that is better. Have you found any good examples there? Can there be a leaderless society?
I don’t think it can be leaderless. I did like the examples from Indonesia but was a bit iffy on people choosing successors. I envision leadership as a call to SERVE, not to have dominion over. Maybe it’s worth just building what we want to see and asking an expert what it is. They could also point out historical examples and maybe pitfalls. It’s for sure a good thought exercise.
You’re so right. And I love the idea of leading with imagination and letting that be the guiding force! I think I focus too much on trying to find the best models that currently exist, but a lot of the models used by utopian writers didn’t exist when they were writing about them! It’s worth using our fiction to experiment. 🤓
This is beautiful!
