…are slowly changing. The ‘protégé’ culture is gradually fading out. But there are still some who manage to resist this logical evolution in socio-economic & cultural paradigms.
The day technology becomes widespread and accessible, i.e the digital divide becomes a minor issue, a new era of democratic power will emerge – that of public/people power. Then the ’protégé’ culture will become irrelevant and illogical.
But one thing we have yet to learn as a nation is ‘how to manage power collectively’. For power management to become effective and positive, cultural and religious divides have to remain outside the equation, status divides have to be minimized, and intellectual divides have to become secondary.
Public power is going to depend on the chemistry that flows from individual to individual, and I rest my chemistry for now, with patience.
