Government is Irrational.

But..., that is a government. And I'm pretty sure most governments did form that way, in the beginning at least. The question is how to keep them from corruption out once it has formed.

Once it is organized, the leaders are always going to have biases. That is what a constitution is for. A democratic/socialist government with limitations is the best way to go.

I'm not entirely sure what you are advocating for here, since anarchy just will not work realistically since some sort of government will always form, some way or another. Ever having some sort of leadership is the beginning of a government. Anarchism is just idealistic nonsense.
