This was incredible—including additional dimensions I hadn’t considered. Our team seems to have wandered into doing things that work out well for us by natural evolution, and Tekmil is the closest analogue to what that is. We aren’t so formal, but I see great value in the formality that truly levels the field, eliminates distractions, and encourages self-control and measuredness (plus impulsivity reduction) in the name of personal growth that benefits the whole. In earlier days, I often wondered how a community could govern itself, particularly at scales beyond Dunbar’s number. Fascinating that this can be the answer in and of itself. Thank you so much for the deep and beautifully structured piece.
Yes… because it seems like the basic unit of democracy in this case complies with Dunbar’s number. Your own neighborhood is where democracy ought to begin. Btw, Murray Bookchin came up with a lot of this stuff. He’s another worth gleaning ideas from.
