At the risk of going off-topic, that guy who posted the video, David Heinemeier Hansson, is a recognizable name. He's the guy behind Ruby.
Ouch!
That sent me down a rat-hole.
I went down a different rat-hole. One that dealt more with his coding and race-car history than his global politics (which aren't mentioned at all in his wikipedia entry). The most interesting tract of his that I found is The Rails Doctrine <https://rubyonrails.org/doctrine>, with which I can find little to disagree. That document also introduces the software application of the Japanese dining concept of *omakase,* which is also the source of the name Omarchy. I also note that one of the tenets of the Rails Doctrine is "Push Up a Big Tent <https://rubyonrails.org/doctrine#big-tent>", which works nicely for me in the political context also under discussion. - Evan
