Thoughts
Leaders: Are they,
no, They are the problem.
When man climbed
down from the trees and decided that he preferred eating meat first
he needed to catch that meat.
For that he needed
two things: other men and a way of communicating with those other
men.
Nature provided the
first, other men climbing down just to imitate him, trying the meat,
no doubt left over from another animal’s dinner, liking it and
wanting more.
The second meant
learning to talk and inventing a language for using that skill to
communicate.
An aside:
Vegetarians, THAT is how far backward your stupidity is!
Having mastered,
sufficiently, those skills a group of men set out to hunt, kill and
then eat that meat. A few took some home to the little woman, causing
man’s first headache, but that is another story.
The group of men
then encountered another problem, that of coordinating their
efforts. Rather than go the commune route where each man could have
their input and the others, by recognising the wisdom of input, act
on it or ignore it some bastard piped up and said “I know, if Fred
does this and Joe does that and the rest of you do that while I call
the shots, we should eat tonight.”.
Leadership was born.
It’s been downhill
since then.
Now we look around
and we see the effects of that “leadership”. Very seldom do we
see the average man say “I know, I’ll go out and die horribly so
Horace there can dine in style tonight”. It’s always Horace
sending Bill out to do the dying while he (Horace) carries on the
dining.
Everywhere.
From your local
group of scrotes calling themselves a “gang” (most of whom,
individually, are good companions) to the big gangs (called
countries) and the really big gangs calling themselves “corporates”.
The “leaders”
make the rules, the poor bastards do the paying, (99.99% of the time
with no real input). The trouble is, over time, they no longer lead –
they dictate.
I contend it’s
time for a change.
Make leadership a
capital offense. Shoot every leader (I’d prefer hanging, the ropes
can then be repurposed, shooting is easier), at every level and
restart afresh.
The World would
become instant chaos, interesting, fun and a far, far better place.
There would be no
countries, people would quickly recognise the only way of surviving
would be cooperation and, without bloody “leaders” that
cooperation would remain small and largely uncoordinated.
We would have found
nirvana – and we could maintain nirvana as long as we remembered to
destroy, completely, every potential leader.
Such is a rainy
morning in North Canterbury. I’m bored, you get to share the
boredom.
Now, where is the
first “leader” in need of shooting?
