Matrianarchy.
A societal model where the adults working together, share power and responsibility in the care and nurture of all the children, and of their shared environment, where children's needs are met without question.
A sustainable, evolutionarily healthy model in which the understanding of the developing brain of the baby in utero and the infant and toddler is grounded in the knowledge that healthy self regulation of emotional state is learned by direct brain-body to brain-body experientials of care, safety, nurturing and meeting needs that are entirely natural expectations of the child.
Emotional intelligence is what grounds intellectual and creative intelligence.
This is in fact the oldest model of human social organisation of all models.
It does not make biological sense that any species would evolve to present unhealthy behaviour as a norm.
Hierarchies of Wealth and Power are proven to be seriously unhealthy for the human species.
The issue is not a technological issue, it is a relationship issue.
Technology always follows the kinds of relationships prevalent in any society, in that the tools are used according to the prevailing relationship patterns.
A knife can be used to murder someone to maintain a hierarchy or it can be used to strip fibres from a plant to make threads that can be woven into clothe that keeps a person warm.
Matrianarchy.
Where power is used collectively as a shared responsibility, to nurture the people and the shared environment.
This is the meaning of solidarity.
A brief lesson on the power of solidarity was carried out in Sweden and Norway in the 1930s, Scandinavia's high level of freedom and broadly-shared prosperity was won through nonviolent struggle that took the reins of government.
It is also true that Wealth-as-Power will seek to claw back as much dominance as it can. Trade Unionism was diluted from the 1960s onwards, NeoLiberalism infiltrated
every aspect of Governance, Billionaires became ever more powerful, populations ever more disenfranchised.
Today we face a rise of overt Fascism and Warfare driven entirely by the fear that Wealth-as-Power senses as more and more people become better educated on how Power is mediated and the harms associated with Wealth-as-Power as a dominating political force.
No Utopia.
I am not proposing a pathway to a Utopia, so much as suggesting that we know enough about human psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, environmental sciences, behavioural and and trauma science to be in a much better position to build the kind of solidarity that removes Wealth-as-Power from malignantly gaming our democracies and economies to extract wealth and amass ever more political power, which is then weaponised, to guarantee Wealth-as-Power immunity and impunity where it causes avoidable harms in the pursuit of more power, and wealth-as-power, well beyond mere greed.
Kindest regards
