Universalism and a machine existance

In his article WWW and UU and I Tim Berners-Lee says:

The whole spread of the Web happened not because of a decision and a mandate from any authority, but because a whole bunch of people across the 'Net picked it up and brought up Web clients and servers, it actually happened.


This really captures (for me) the way we should be living our lives: not as subjects to an external authority but by working together towards a "good" that can benefit us. Our own internal authority should allow us to interoperate and co-exist much better than machines. And yet it seems they have the upper hand.
