Re: What we stand for: Quasi-Rawlsian ethics (none / 1)

Ethics derived from utopian reasoning also tends to be ethics fit for the rulers of said utopia,

Maybe one of the characteristics of a Utopia is that while it may (discuss...) have rules, it has no 'rulers'?

Or, in the frame of self-organization, a flock of birds can be seen to have no leaders or be full of leaders, or that leadership is not 'owned' but, like the talking stick, is passed along to share temporary 'ownership'.

I think that the self-organizing model in which all are potential leaders requires some kind of 'talking stick' method for the rotation of leadership.
