Ah, just seeing this now.
I appreciate you taking it further and I think I can relate. The frustration with things being too ineffective and the drive to have a human responsible for something. I believe monarchies can be highly efficient, as many other top-down hierarchies. I think the challenge lies in that while one can efficiently help, one can also efficiently harm.
So, yeah, a part of me loves that a human could come in and make it more structured, more "the buck stops here" (ironically from the US President, the leader of a democratic republic), and I also worry about what happens when that person goes in a direction we don't like or a direction that harms or kills us. May seem like an exaggeration for a social media company, however, many genocides have been fueled by language through mass media.
> The social architecture of our society is so "democratic" that there is no responsibility, no human spirit, no .. humanity in the way we deal with things.
This is why I actually believe more in the idea of representative democracy than direct democracy. Yes, not as much responsibility as a single owner, but allocated responsibility to a few while being owned by many.
