Leadership
The First Utopian Realism Societal Principle
The External Principles
Utopia is built and maintained according to these principles.
They are listed in order of priority and practical implementation.
There may be some overlap between principles and the order of implementation may differ from town to town. Objective morality also overlaps as an internal principle.
Each principle is a solution to a current problem.
Problem: Rulership, Authority & Government
Solution: The first principle - Leadership & Teamwork
Problem: Law & The Legal System
Solution: The second principle - Objective Morality

Followed after the twelve principles is a short summary of...
- The Root Cause & Solutions
Machine automation and a peaceful moneyless society is not possible without first beginning with leadership.
Utopia is built upon
two pillars, a mindset shift using Utopian Realism Character Principles and Utopian
Realism Societal Principles. The inetrnal and the external must work in harmony to be able to create a life worth living.
The 10 Steps To Utopia are big steps that encompass The Principles and more.
The Utopian Realism Societal Principles focus on just that, principles, and can be considered technical innovations for overcoming current problems & creating solutions to counter the insufficiencies in our societies.
A Utopianist doesn't have to believe that building heaven on earth is possible, but they do need to believe that it is a worthy goal to work towards, regardless of it's ability to succeed or not.
For what else is a worthy enough goal compared to the idea of everyone enjoying a peaceful paradise?
One of the most dangerous problem the entire world faces, including you, is not global warming, environmental destruction, over population, nuclear weapons, demons, aliens, extra dimensional entity’s or even artificial intelligence.
No, all those potential problems pale in comparison to the real elephant in the room.
One of the most deadly problems that threatens to destroy us all is a religion.
Yet it’s an idea you never knew was actually a religion.
That religion is authority.
Yes, authority is a religion, people follow its laws, rules and edicts more stringently than any Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist ever could with their doctrines.
Most people believe in the god of government and ‘the law’ more fanatically than any other type of religious zealot.
The law, politics, government and authority has become their bible and god which they worship mindlessly.
Authority is the delusional based mindset that someone has the legitimate right to rule you (especially without your consent).
This idea is not based in reality and is drawn from a world of fiction.
Authority simply does not exist in reality the way it is commonly believed to exist.
No one has the right to rule you and you don't have the right to rule others.
This should be basic commonsense, but it has become the axis that delicately balances the entire world.
When it comes to the common idea of authority, people ascend to the status of rulers who then form kingdoms, empires, dynasties and governments.
Rulers were the pharaohs of past, kings, queens, emperors, princes and princesses., dukes, lords and now prime ministers and presidents.
A ruler dominates and controls through fear, torture, violence, threats, intimidation, coercion, deception, manipulation and bloodshed.
A leader guides and directs in the exact opposite manner.
A leader inspires, invites, motivates, encourages, appreciates, leads, initiates, invigorates, stimulates, excites, instigates and supports.
When someone is a leader, they do whatever they can to raise people up to their level, to stand beside them.
A ruler is someone who has not mastered themselves so seeks to master others.
A leader has power over themselves, so has no desire or reason to have power over others.
Rulers are weak and can’t control themselves, so plot and scheme to control others.
A ruler tells you what to do.
A leader shows you how to do it.
Leaders are confident, competent, honest and genuinely care about the well being of others, as a leader looks at other people like an extension of themselves.
A leader understands that if they want to be living their best life, then you must also be able to live your best life too.
Because to a true leader, there is no point in celebrating success if everyone else is suffering in misery.
Rulers are insecure, dishonest, typically incompetent at everything other than manipulation and have no care for the well being of others.
Rulers have no compassion or empathy and only pretend they do on occasion to manipulate you into getting what they want, more power.
This is because rulers see people as their subjects, tools, commodity's, things and pieces on a chessboard to be played with as if they were toys.
Rulers are dependent on others submission to validate their own sense of existence and worthiness.
Rulers see people as everything and anything except for what they actually are.
People.
To tell the difference between a ruler and a leader is easy.
Can you speak to them? Do they listen? Do they answer? Do they value your thoughts? Are they respectful if they disagree with you? Do they put into action your words if they do agree with you?
If yes, they’re a leader.
If no, they’re a ruler.
If no one wants them to be in their position anymore, do they step down?
Yes, they’re a leader.
If no, they're a ruler.
Do they admit when they make mistakes and correct it as soon as they can? Are they able to do this without first being called out?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
Do they tell the truth and aren’t ever caught lying?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
Are they respected and respectful?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
Are they competent to complete the specific project or task they have been appointed to do?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
Do they keep secrets? Not private matters but ones that concern you and the people.
Yes, they're a ruler.
No, they're a leader.
Do they directly ask the people for feedback and adjust their performance based on that feedback?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
Do they share precise details of plans and are clear communicators?
Yes, they're a leader.
No, they're a ruler.
When it comes down to it, it’s very easy to tell the difference between a leader and a ruler.
Which one would you prefer?
Which would you prefer to be?
Rulership and authority require something called jurisdiction.
When you start a new job, you sign a contract.
That contract states the terms and conditions, your role, responsibility's and duties of accepting the offered job.
You read over the contract and either agree or disagree to be bound for a period of time.
If it’s an ethical contract, it will consist of at least 7 points that any ethical contract requires.
Unfortunately, most don't.
If you accept the contract, you accept the jurisdiction of the one who gave you the contract and any other hierarchy related to your new job.
This means that you have both agreed your “boss” has the right to tell you what time to arrive and finish work, when you can take holidays and what you will be doing when you’re at work.
If you've signed a contract with someone giving them specifc and limited jurisdiction over you, fair enough, if you haven't and they assume jurisdiction, you have a problem.
Now imagine employees from McDonald’s demanding that you wear a pink t-shirt down the street or you’ll be fined.
Imagine if someone from the supermarket wanted to stop you while shopping and conduct a frisk search.
Picture a plumber pulling you over because you went 5kms over the speed limit and arresting you because you wouldn't tell him who you were or were you lived.
It would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
One, because they have no right to make such demands, because no one does without the appropriate context, and two because they don't have jurisdiction.
Your boss could tell you to wear a pink shirt and that you need to be frisk searched, but you have the right to decline and end your contract.
Did you sign a contract with the government giving them jurisdiction over you according to specific terms and conditions that are in alignment with the 7 points of an ethical contract?
How about the police, courts or any other government corporations?
No?
Then how on earth could they have jurisdiction over you?
If you have not given someone your consent to order you around, such as your work place boss, then whenever someone makes demands upon you, they are either dangerously mistaken or a thief of consent.
Most often, a combination of both.
For someone to be in command of you, to boss you around, to give you orders and to expect you to obey without question or hesitation, must require consent.
If you join the army, sure, in this instance you are voluntarily giving away your independent free will and are choosing to be subjugated to the dictates of a chain of command.
Do you remember signing up to join the army, giving up all your rights to freedom?
Whenever someone claims the right to be in charge of you, ask them to provide a copy of the contract you signed giving them the right to command you.
If they can’t provide this document with your written consent, they are lying.
Even if they could, you have the right to withdraw your consent, at any given time.
Jurisdiction requires your now moment consent to be legitimate.
Anyone who thinks different, try explaining that to a jury when a woman accuses you of rape because you thought she wasn't allowed to withdraw consent halfway.
Will you still accept your employers jurisdiction if he changes the terms of the contract and says you are to work without pay from now on?
First and foremost, you are the commander of yourself, now and always, forever and ever and ever, provided you choose to be, which is the choice to function with sovereignty.
Whenever you give anyone else the right to command you, it is only temporary and can only be legitimate for as long as you allow it.
If you are being threatened with violence to obey or else, that’s different as it’s obviously not legitimate jurisdiction or power over you.
It’s simply an act of force.
You always have power over yourself.
Someone else can only take that power if you give it to them, willingly.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a politician, god, alien, police officer, your partner, your teacher or a judge, it is always your choice whether you give your power away or keep it for yourself.
You have the right to keep your power and anyone else has the freedom (but not the right) to ask you to give it away, but no one has the right (although they have the freedom) to steal it from you via deception, manipulation or force.
Jurisdiction is not a problem, it’s jurisdiction that is assumed and not confirmed which is a problem.
To start the construction of Utopia, a parallel society to our current worsening Dystopia, we require leadership.
First and lastly with absolutely everything we do requires leadership.
If we are to delegate leadership to computers and AI or to psychopathic rulers like we do know, we are not fit to live in Utopia.
Utopia requires human and humane leadership and leadership must be just, fair, honest, respectful, competent, innovative, imaginative and care about our well being.
Project/mission specific leadership and teamwork, not general broad rulership.
There is no beneficial functional requirement to have a town mayor, state minister or national prime minister.
There is no logical or practical reason to have a ruler with general control over everything.
A ruler is an individual who rules for a group without the groups consent or consideration.
A ruler makes the rules without asking the peoples permission whom he is creating rules for.
A ruler makes ruling decisions solely by themself or with a very small minority for the majority. This is obviously unfair.
The role of a ruler is an unnecessary and often destructive role people play that serve no benefit to the people.
Ask yourself, why would the role of a ruler be needed in the first place?
To tell everyone what they can and can’t do?
Why would we need this if we already know what we can and can’t do?
Most of us know implicitly what we should and shouldn't do already, it’s now time to build technical solutions that help everyone do more of what they should and less of what they shouldn't.
Rulers and more laws are clearly not the answer.
We have thousands of years of history to prove this.
Project specific leadership is much more appropriate for achieving our goals, like when constructing a new subterranean maglev train, recycling plant, community garden, apartment block etc..
Organisation, teamwork and direction are necessary to complete projects.
To learn more about how leadership is only necessary for completing specific projects and no over arching general leadership positions are necessary, then read this story to learn more.
The construction of Utopian societies, the solution to authority and rulers, starts and ends with The First Utopian Realism Societal Principle of Leadership.
