On the positive role model for government structures.
Structural functionalist theories often view government as the control system—the brain of society—adopting a holistic perspective in which society functions as an organism. However, this perspective aligns more closely with social parasitism, where the governing body exploits the rest of society.
Instead, such structures are better understood and organized as the skeletal system—a supporting framework that enables natural growth and facilitates adaptive flexibility. For example, structural and external protections for vulnerable cells and organs (e.g., bone marrow fostering the growth of new cells or the spinal cord facilitating communication) provide a regulatory framework during the development of embedded, non-self-regulating agents or societies.
The brain, in contrast, is better conceptualized as an informational-intelligence parasite—a model-generating engine that can function symbiotically. Used constructively, it fosters higher levels of complexity and coherence in cooperative models, extending across spatial and temporal dimensions beyond individual agency while avoiding descent into chaos. However, when misused, it produces propaganda, manipulative narratives, and parasitic models that inevitably lead to systemic decay. This inevitably results in a collapse back to previous levels of complexity due to intrinsic conflict generation.
The greater the system's decoherence and complexity, the deeper its eventual collapse.
