No symbolic brain

This is way too much for a single idea, but I'll boil down all I can. Government and business, everything that we've ever built as people is basically modeled on our sense of how the human body works. EG we build a body and we run it with a brain. Everything pretty much.

What I'm thinking is that 1) we might be sorta wrong about how that works and 2) even if we are right there is no proof that that is the best way to organize diverse groups of people with very different goals than say a single human body.

So the idea is to attempt, in the interaction of all the parts, EG symbolic hand to symbolic foot, to have educated, informed and holistically conceived relationships. Every bit thinks about every bit in everything they do.

Sure that means that the processing of information and consideration for the whole has to happen all the time, can't be exported to someone else. But that is exactly what I think we could use. That is how you stuff sloughing off responsibility. That is how the world gets better.
