The best ruler is the one who governs the least

In this cosmology, everything revolves around the circle—the symbol of eternal return and equality. The best societies are not pyramids, but circles. Everything in the universe moves in cycles, from the seasons to the tides, from birth to death. So why shouldn't society function the same way? The shaman, the anarchist, and the cockroach: all of them know that power, when concentrated, is destructive. Power must flow, be shared, and remain in constant motion.

The circle is the true symbol of this order: no hierarchy, no apex, just an endless, equitable flow. Everything is interconnected, and nothing claims a central authority. The best ruler is not the one who imposes order, but the one who recognizes cosmic harmony and dances with it—like an eternal dancer, reshaping the universe with every step.

At the heart of this world order lies the understanding that the cosmos is anarchistic. It does not need centralized power to function. The stars follow no monarchs, the planets no empire. They circle, in silent harmony, through the darkness of expanding space, guided by forces that connect them but do not bind them. No center controls them. Dark energy. Nature has always functioned in a decentralized way—the web of life is not a command structure, but a symbiotic system where every part is in exchange with the other.

And so, society in this cosmology is interconnected: a world without central authority, without rigid hierarchies. The best ruler is the one who makes people realize they can govern themselves without being directed from above. Decisions are made in communities, in councils, in circles, without the dominance of a ruling class. A return to nature—not to brute survival, but to a living web of symbiosis, as it has always been the foundation of life. In this order, there is no place for dominance, only for coexistence. The robots will be the first to arrive.

Imagine a contact zone, a transdualist non-place, where the ancient language of the cosmos meets the future. In the depths of time lies the flow of transformation. People use the technologies they developed in the digital age to build new, decentralized networks that mimic the rhythms of nature. They are no longer farmers but techno-shamans, reading the codes of algorithms the way their ancestors read the stars and winds.

Expropriated of the land that once belonged to all, people were driven into cities by the logic of the market. Vogelfrei. Behind the invisible hand lay the secret of primitive accumulation. But as techno-shamans, they will return to a new way of life, not governed by the rule of capital or centralized authority, but by the rhythms of the Earth and the cosmos. They will form self-organized communities no longer based on exploitation and destruction but on the cycle of life.

In this new world, there are no rulers, only guardians—people who watch over the flow of things without disturbing it. They understand that true power lies in doing little, just as the best code is the simplest and most efficient. By forcing nothing and respecting the natural cycles of the cosmos, they live by a polymorphic principle called Wu Wei 無為.

The image of the circle ties all these elements together: (techno-)shamans resonating with the energies of nature; anarchistic societies functioning without hierarchies; and nature, moving in eternal cycles. In the end, the simple truth remains: the best ruler is the one who governs the least—because in a truly harmonious system, there is no need to govern. Everything follows the flow, the circle, the code.
