There is a popular demand within the Zeitgeist Movement: Horizontality, meaning the group's ability to participate in decision making both locally and globally. We all want to participate, and rightly so. From the outset, the movement declared itself as a leaderless one, without hierarchies. So why is it so difficult to achieve this? Isn't the way to go, obvious?
To answer, we need to understand the context of the statements, and define how any movement can function without leaders.

Quito is the capital city of Ecuador, and despite of being the second largest city, is still relatively isolated from the world, barely one of every three Ecuadorians use the internet and few people among them seek independent information sources. I am pretty sure that the well informed, active, sensitive person is, at least, the "freak" guy amidst all this normality.

(Text from the speech at the Townhall Meeting in Amsterdam. August, 2011.)
Hello everybody. It’s great to see so many people gathered here with interest in the ideas of the Zeitgeist movement. It’s great to see such awareness of a need for fundamental change. The need for an economy that is sustainable, provides in abundance and actually takes care of us. Not only am I happy to see you here, but I’m also very grateful for Ben McLeish and Gilbert Ismail to share their findings with us here tonight. May this result in a fruitful debate in the end.
