Leadership

My nephew posted an online statement to the effect that humans always have leaders.

Here was my response: Humans will always have leaders and will always be ruled. We are creatures of and in nature, and nature is never without its own regulations and regulating all creatures, even it it is but the law of the jungle.

We can do better than that and must do better than that. How about if we teach regular citizens to morph into being individuating supercitizens? Then each is his own ruler and follower while working in a societal arrangement of legal and voluntary associations with powerful, engaged peers that individual-live while cooperating to run the country as politically engaged supercitizens.

There are still leadership-follower relationships, but the fall out is a minimzation of mob behavior and crowds controlled by tyrannical leaders, while liberty, empowerment and activism are the hallmark traits of an active, smart citizenry.
