Democracy - Starfish - Peter Watts

This quote was added by promethes
A starfish is the ultimate democracy. They walk along on all these tube feet. But the weird thing is, they have no brains at all. Not surprising for a democracy. There's nothing to coordinate the tube feet, they all move independently. Usually that's not a problem; they all tend to go towards food. But it's not unusual for a third of these feet to be pulling in some other direction entirely. Sometimes, some really stubborn tube feet just don't give up, and literally get torn out at the roots.
