Awesomesauce, I'll put it on my to-read list. And I agree that getting rid of the WRONG hierarchies would be a very bad thing to do. For example, preferring people with the most amount of working years instead of skill would be an obvious stupid thing to do.

I just posted the first part of OSG Book One online to read for free. This part scientifically explains what "freedom" is and how it differs from centralized control. Someone commented a couple days ago: "sell your book harder!" I was surprised -- I thought the hard sell would be a turn off. Well, I'm hoping posting this first part works. It's a lot of work putting this stuff together and I have to find a way to monetize it.

Hierarchies and networks in human society are different from machine architecture. Sometimes they're analogous, but not always. In society, hierarchies and nets each have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, hierarchies are inefficient at large scales; most efficient at small or medium size. Networks, on the other hand, are strongest at large scales and very inefficient at small scales. OSG combines them to exploit the strengths of each.

So I posted the first part of Book One HERE:

Let me know what you think.
