Yet there are others with deep wisdom of the nature of authority--that when it gets to a certain size (especially where there is no larger authority to check it), there is always risk for it becoming self-serving. It's the nature of the beast and therefore accept. Accordingly the only solution is decentralization. It's the difference between bundled and unbundled software. The rising tides of both play their part in a larger a picture, a larger set of lessons which ultimately--I believe--leave with unbundling/decentralization being the final answer. The flip side of the coin, of this lesson, is u need the times of bundling and centralization to learn how to do decentralization properly. In so looking at the broader picture, can we say bundling and centralization of power is a bad thing?
