Jock Gill on gnostic politics
By David Weinberger, 01/26/2005 - 12:32pm

Jock Gill over at GreaterDemocracy urges his fellow liberals to drop-the-hub and spoke model and to go Gnostic, getting rid of the intermediaries.

It is a partisan piece, of course, and raises the question of whether any particular party's politics makes it better suited to adopting the new tools of directed, connected democracy.

as I just posted over at Power of Many...

Jock Gill calls for a sort of Gnostic Liberal movement to revitalize the left (although to my mind his emphasis on disintermediation seems to point more to the Protestant Reformation than to Gnosticism).

How ideologies grapple with heretical views may be instructive here, though it appears we're at the beginning of an inquiry here and not near its conclusion.
