Math Proves Human Society Too Complex to Rule via

Government

Society has gone past a point of getting governed. We no longer need a president to function as a healthy society. In fact a
central body of government ruling over differing classes of people creates disfunction. We remain too complex for a ruler as
a recent report shows.

Does hope for us exist?

Prior to election day, Vice published a report called Mathematics, which included proof that democracies remain
irrelevant to our society today. Social policy, or the idea that one process can work for each person, has gotten deemed
ludicrous as society exists much too complex, and government has failed us continualy.

A complex organism

We, as humans, have become increasingly complex over time, which has no relation to democracy or communism. And this
complexity matters, says Yaneer Bar-Yam, the New England Complex Systems Institutes (NECSI)s director,

a natural process of increasing complexity in the world.. at some point will run into the complexity of the individual. Once
we reach that point, hierarchical organizations will fail.
Bar-Yam realized how ridiculous it seemed to organize society into sections of a few. Government officials in most cases,
detach from individual situations because of lack of experience in those areas.

Bar-Yam said,

We are raised to believe that democracy is good for us.

Does this seem true? Democracy remains over-rated, and so do other systems such as dictatorships and communism. Their
centralized processes and democracies mearly focus on one or few groups of individuals, leaving others with no ample
representation. It fails!

Human complexity

When discussing individual needs of society, human action forms a solution. If looking at humans as unique creatures
compared to each other, an idea forms about the raesons we remain much too complex to get ruled as a group.

Humans get made up of atoms, making up cells and organs. If tring to describe individual atoms, it seems almost
impossible. Possible but in relation to collective behaviors of whole bodies makes it a bit easier.

This works in much of a similar manner when describing an individual person in a job, as opposed to a workforce. More
ease comes via understanding patterns of an entire workforce than ing cataloging daily behaviors of one worker.

Does a solution exist?

Bar-Yam suggests a solution called a control hierarchy, which enables an individual to control but their own actions
separately from others. With this, one individual can influence others into taking similar actions. It proves much more
effective than hoping a government will influence larger groups into following their lead. In fact government tries to control
groups of people as if they existed as simpler beings.

Human action

These ideas surfaced in 1949. Praxeology, or the study of purposeful behavior (human action), says that humans exist and act
for a reason, basically.

Action - will put into operation.

Economist Ludwig von Mises said that those detached from situations cannot possibly know what will happen inside
situations. Although science holds a pretty accurate prediction about what may happen in a situation, it cannot predict futures
outcomes without questions. And no matter what similarities occur from one situation to another, incomplete knowledge
remains within each given event or within different and new groups. Mises understood complexity of society before Bar-Yam
got involved in studying this.

Mises writes in Human Action,

Government means coercion and compulsion and is the opposite of liberty.

Both Mises and Bar-Yam concluded that complexities of human beings, especially at levels in which humans have
attained at this point makes it not possible for governments to rule.

As can get seen with elections, numerous people refuse to vote, a desire for governmental rule declines. Choosing leaders
obviously does not matter much to people, and working as individuals to solve problems causes us to thrive as human beings.
