Also the book The Starfish and The Spider gives great insight on this topic of leaderless organizations. It doesn’t have to be as rigid as some DAO creators suggest. There might be room for a hybrid system. One that has leaders, but they are basically “glass heads.” All that means is that in order for a hybrid system to work there needs to be total transparency and thus accountability.

The DAO can be used to run big chunks of the system, and where leaders are used they must be transparent glass figure heads that represent their token holders, or customers, or voters, or whatever the system was designed for.

I see using a hybrid system like this in government - at least at first - until we eventually do away with leaders all together. But a transparent and decentralized government would be easy to sell if the tech was trustworthy enough and the voters believed in it.

Do you know anyone who could build this technology? I am confident I can get a person (a “glass head”) elected and prove the value of the system once the tech is available.
