Defining 'Stigmergy'

Thank You! Though Wikipedia (the starting quote there) is not the most authoritative source on things, in this instance, I'd say We can run with it. Nice article. With the web, We Humans now have a swift and stigmergic way to govern Ourselves by solving problems - with unbiased input from Those who care but are not personally involved. Not only that, the search for solutions can be up to the planetary level if no solution is found locally. The solutions can fit each situational set of requirements, too. When We pass "laws" (note the quotes and lower case "l") and put Some above Others to enFORCE the "laws," We promote psychopaths to power over Others. Such power draws Them far more than the non-psychopathic Individual. We also do not address the individual particulars of any problem situation, often creating a travesty of justice in the process - "letter of the law" and all.

Awesome input!
