Welcome! I like your idea of thinking in terms of organisms. I've been trying to better understand the emergent properties of large groups of human beings because I think we're moving towards a voluntary society with no need for government (which I define as a monopoly on the use of force in a geographic region). What is often considered an individualistic worldview (libertarianism/voluntaryism/anarchy) has the challenge of solving real problems which emerge when people get together. From my perspective, this view is more reliant on "the other" because of the lack of coercion.
