  We look at a collection of conjectures with the unifying message that smaller
social systems, tend to be less complex and can be aligned better, towards
fulfilling their intended objectives. We touch upon a framework, referred to as
the four pronged approach that can aid the analysis of social systems. The four
prongs are:
  1. The Uncertainty Principle of the Social Sciences
  2. The Objectives of a Social System or the Responsibilities of the Players
  3. The Need for Smaller Organizations
  4. Redirecting Unintended Outcomes
  Smaller organizations mitigating the disruptive effects of corruption is
discussed and also the need for organizations, whose objective is to foster the
development of other smaller organizations. We consider a way of life, which is
about respect for knowledge and a desire to seek it. Knowledge can help
eradicate ignorance, but the accumulation of knowledge can lead to
overconfidence. Hence it becomes important to instill an attitude that does not
knowledge too seriously, along with the thirst for knowledge. All of this is
important to create an environment that is conducive for smaller organizations
and can be viewed as a natural extension of studies that fall under the wider
category of understanding factors and policies aimed at increasing the welfare
or well-being to society.
