A new paradigm for community action

Some thoughts for future development:

Hierarchical social structures (vehicles) fueled by greed are not capable of organizing (bringing us into) the global community of the 21st century.

Why aren't they? It's quite simple, they become encumbered by a historical legacy of power and control vested in specific individuals who are themselves limited by the specific skill sets that bring them to positions of power and control.

Change is occurring too rapidly for team play in which the quarterback is king. Even the short span of years the normal CEO has at the top has now become far too long, particularly when you consider the trajectory of his or her ascendency. We should think about the baseball model in which the movement of the ball really does determine who is in charge of the play.

There are other aspects of the emerging global community for which our hierarchical soical structures are not adequate for integrating the world's diversity. If we think in terms of making everyone as homogeneous as possible, then we are misguided, but this is the end result for which a hierarchical social structure is best suited: get everyone to align under the direction of leaders.

We do not need vertical alignment top to bottom, front to back. Nor do we need the integration of the blender. We need the integration of the work of art in which components retain their essential characteristics in the creative whole.
