Keep in mind the world is run by hierarchs. Of course the solution will look hierarchical in nature. The problem is fundamentally speaking, the hierarchism is a self perpetuating problem, because we still have to solve who amongst us can be trusted with the top of the hierarchy, which hierarchism states by definition "most of us can't be". It's like encryption, it's excellent at turning every other hard problem into a key management problem.

But reality doesn't owe us this luxury, unfortunately. Offense increases entropy. It's easy to destroy. Attack surfaces are numerous. Humans are fragile. It's hard to defend.
