Human nature, I guess. Many people think that they know more
than they do, and therefore believe that they can design (or fix)
an extremely complicated system when there is really no chance
to do so. People don't trust an emergent system, it is too abstract
to accept that millions of people individually interacting can actually result
in a more efficient solution to a problem than having a strong
leader and authority figure in control. Also, I imagine many people
find it comforting to have a paternal figure (or figures) in control,
guiding and protecting us. It was nice when we were 9 years old,
anyway.
