Self-organising systems

Self-organising systems are dynamic systems which show stable emergent properties. i questioned already whether the emergent properties are really part of the under-lying dynamics - that is a question from Buddha!

In humans there are self-organising systems (basically the series that form societies structures, and also a large part of the processes that underlie all group formation). People may believe that they can create political parties and societies but unless the dynamics are already there it won't happen. Plus it is maybe rather egotistical that one person believes that by their own power they can influence so many people!

But as seem with the Nazis such self organising groups can put the individuals who are part of the self organisation in bizarre circumstances and make them behave in ways which alone they might disagree with.

It is precisely because social self-organisation can be so dangerous that it is something we should shy from, and remain personally conscious and responsible for everything we do. That is a repeat of the arguments against society and for Anarchy before.
