Let us begin with a stable government. It of course is comprised of the governing people, who regulate every aspect of society. Then, let us introduce the king. How so, do u ask? Very simply. The king barges into the office, demands that the whole government obeys him, and passes laws that serve only what he thinks are his benefit.
Over the many hundreds of years, we have seen forms of government, which are comprised of governing people, who efficiently cooperate to administer the laws of the land. Why then, in many countries, does there exist a single ‘representative’ of the government, the country, or the people? This single representative, a single person, speaks for the government, which is plural, the country, which is a stretch of land, and the people, which is plural. Is the people, the government, and the land itself supposed to belief that the king is in charge of them?
If so, then the king is not a government. It is a religion. It is a belief system that is usually imposed, but otherwise is a monotheistic belief that government in its plurality revolves around a single person. Was a single person ever the government? Thru out all of history, we find that no matter how strong or wise or imposing a single person can be, the so called representative had to rely on others to enforce their rule, and often to think that they themselves were dependent on this one person.
Just as roles can be filled by people, the role played by a person can be filled by people. Thus, by logic of absorption, a representative is not necessarily required for any number of offices, rather, representations are shared among qualified electives to perform representative duties. Let us observe a default example. There was a girl who kept complaining to her parents that there were monsters in the closet. Of course, they did not believe her, because imagination is wild at this age. They decide to check the closet only after she was adamant about seeing shadows and hearing voices. When they check the closet, they find that the shadows were actually swarms of bees, and the voices were the sounds of their wings.
Her parents inspected the ceiling tile to find that not only the bedroom, but the entire house was occupied by a single massive hive of bees. He called the exterminator, who would not take the job of killing the bees, instead referring the man to the local bee keeper. The bee keepers arrived and spent hours clearing every crawl space of every room of bees. The bee keepers then commented to the two residents that this single hive was home to multiple queen bees, who seemed to be working together to coordinate their over 60k children. For months, these queens slowly, quietly, patiently took over the crawl space of the entire house, intending to elude and live peacefully with the human residents.
This single family of many mothers, and over 60k members in this family is possibly the most efficient government ever observed. At least for us humans, there was no clear telling whether there was a single queen mom in charge of all the other queens. Rather, these moms were able to quietly and peacefully share every aspect of their hive society in perfect cooperation.
A typical animal brain is comprised of various trillions of neurons. Each neuron is comprised of the various components that enable it to live and be a neuron. Each neuron is of a type of neuron, and it has the traits or parameters specific to that type of neuron, which enables it to perform its specific function better than other types of neurons. Altho the brain of an animal coordinates the motor behavior of that animal, it itself is comprised of a plurality of neurons, where there is no neuron that dominates other neurons, and there is no neuron that dominates other cells. Rather, the body of neurons in the body coordinates the organs and appendages of the body. The brain itself is comprised of the organs of the brain, and the different types of neurons.
Like it is the tenet if monotheistic religion to focus on only one god, their story, their experience, and impose by force the ideals of only one god whether the imposed, or the god themselves likes, wants, or will appreciate this, the imposition of the rule of a king follows the same pattern. Despite the limitations of them being only one person, the inability to make new people, and the inability to make impositions without legions of imposers, the king believes this his sole belief is the good or the belief of a people. Government cooperation is solely for his sake, the people and the government serve him. With our previous observation, we find that it is not only possible for government to run without a sole representative, but the representation of a people can be assumed by the government itself perceived to be a single entity, which is plural. (One made of many)
Why if it is not efficient is the role (rule) of a king so prevalent in many societies? In these many societies, a king rising to power is achieved by usurping the existing government structure by force to gain manual control of the government by force. Why do the people not simply seize the king and return to normal government operation? This question led me to another feature of the hive that also reveals a deleterious trait in our current social structure.
We know what a hive is, and what it is called. It is a community that is also a family, ruled by a queen, who is prolific. But this experience of a massive hive taking over a whole house reveals that a hive is also a community of queens, who peacefully behave as if they were one massive family. In this city, or state, which is ruled by a government of queens, the individual members know more or less to take from the pool of resources only what they need, and to contribute their labour as needed.
Compared to our current setup of society, which i would call an iso relegatory dispensation system, every member has an account. Every member is responsible for their account, and every member contributes their various kinds of labor only when it is beneficial to the account, and not necessarily other people, or the environment. They then dispense from their accounts in exchange for resources that they need … or want.
From this description, the problems become very apparent, including the inevitable rise of king. Every person must fund a labor that alots transactable to them, even if they are allotted a potential for labour, despite what this labor might be. It could be lifting heavy loads by yourself all day, or barking orders over the phone all day. The worths of labors vary drastically. They are then transacted this worth to their account, which is what they can spend.
Cant find a labor of transactionable worth? No problem. Starve to death. Only your accounts amount of worth can determine what u can buy, whether it is a necessity or not. Work at your job while homeless because your job does pay enough for rent. Choose between retirement and prescriptions. No car? Tough. Hope the bus is running today, because u wont get paid if u dont show up and do work, and u cant afford a car on your salary anyway.
But wait, it gets worse! What happened to your account? It shows much less than it did before! Thats because the worth invested into your account can be transacted out of your account unknowingly, and unwillingly. Who did it? U probably have never met this person, but now u have to pay for expensive detective service to find out what happened!
Meanwhile, who gets big corporate inheritance? The still teenage son of a big shot who never worked a day in their lives. They will now be taking over the company that u worked for your whole life, still know nothing about, and now all that effort was for nothing. Because strangers were able to hijack your work with the stroke of a key. This is their labor. This is how they assume their worth. So how does a king become a king? This way. This form of leadership, is oppressive, isolating, controlling, and it is a scam.
In a hive, resources are physical, labored, and shared. You work not because u alone will benefit, but because your community will benefit. Your worth is the worth of your people, and it is always labor. If somebody tries to steal it, do they steal from one person? No, not even if that person is a queen. They would have stolen it from their own community, and, it would require significant labor to haul this physical good, and everybody in the community saw what thief did, and they will pounce on the thieves. So now u know why honey is kept in liquid form by bees. Any thief would find themselves in a sticky situation.
Everybody knows to take for themselves community labor as needed by them, or the worth of themselves would decrease, and the queens will become concerned. The queen herself is not concerned solely with obedience and subjection, but with cooperation with other queens, and all the other kinds of labor in the hive. This is what she is efficient at, not stealing, and not subjugation. I have already outlined the ways that people can go about regulating the hive kind of system. Maybe this way, we can be more efficient with ourselves, with government, and with nature.
