Your posts glean it.

The only difference between a king & a dictator is that the king doesn't need to have any redeeming value (intelligence, ambition, etc...) to reach that position. More often than not, with a monarch, you end up with megalomaniacal, weak, & stupid at the same time. Monarchs should be returned to their original purpose, being the human sacrifice.
Here are some of the other crap philosophies that the '' Age of Enlightenment '' have given us :
- The Left/Right political spectrum
- Fascism
- Communism
- Capitalism
- Libertarianism
- Liberalism
- Feminism
- Neo-conservatism
- Socialism
- Nation-States and Nationalism
- Democracy
- and much much more crap to come

Go out with a crowd at people at night and ask, "Hey, what do ya wanna do next?" The replies range from
"I dunno."
"I don't care, whadah you wanna do?"
"Anything's fine by me."
to
"Let's go bowling."
"Let's hit the clubs."
to
"Naw, I don't wanna do that."
There are laid back, easy going folks who see no harm, at times, in letting others make the decisions.
There are lazy folks who just don't want to think about it and rather just follow the crowd.
There are people who have some good ideas and let them be known, and there are those who just want every body to do what they want to do all the time.
And there are natural born dissenters as well as those who dissent legitimately.
I think all this may just be hardwired into us, just as dominance hierarchies are natural to some other animaniac species. I think you're probably right, hippiefried, when you say "...civilization continues & progresses despite 'leadership'." Unfortunately, I also think there's no way to avoid leaders and followers.
