Hello Leo, Readers
There is no best way of organizing. An organizing principle can best be
congruent or contingent with the problem / issue at hand. Systems are
connected causes. In a threathening survival situation, a "traditional"
tribal organization works best, then you get more complicated structures
with assertive kings and queens, then small scale democracies etc. These
developmentd feed on each other. When there is economic prosperity,
freedom of thought, democracy can take over and vice versa. The better we
"learn" the "higher" the organizing principle that can be applied. I
assume that development and organizing principles are loosly linked. When
you want people to live in a primitive "command-type" society: stop their
economic developement.
Two things might be confusing:
1. the "earlier" type will be part of the "higher" type, it is
incorporated into some institutions, like a family (non democratic) in a
democratic society
2. when the situation changes, earlier types surface agian, also because
that is the firts type of behaviour we have learned.
A third complication:
3. we are able to define our situation (visioning) and the create it.
When you have a vision of war, the vision will become real.
hope it helped,
Kind regards and all the best,
Jan Lelie
