Democracy is just another form of tyranny. It's just the best we've found so far. Instead of a group of hundreds dictating the lives of everyone else, we at least have a plurality of the population dictating how the rest of us live, and every once in a while the people receiving the dictates get to become the dictators. There's gotta be something better out there. Perhaps having thousands of nation states with freedom of movement between them all? That ways you can pick and choose what rules you want to live under?

"Integration in differentiation, and differentiation in integration" - is the best way to go in order to counter the pernicious effects of cumulative power. The human brain does the same - maintain a huge population of individually differentiated neurons that are tightly integrated together.
