Hierarchy vs. Conviviality

The personal stories at Knatz.com expressed a common purpose: to illustrate that a convivial society would better fulfill human nature than the hierarchical coercions that kleptocracies have foisted onto us since civilization over-extended everything: from population to agriculture to industry. The term "convivial" is Ivan Illich's. It is the Jesus-inspired context for "deschooling."

This is the common theme of my biographical stories whether of school or church or army or work place.
