How would a highly STO-oriented society be organized in terms of politics?

[Spaced]

I think even in a highly STO society there would be a hierarchy present, it would be a different sort of hierarchy than we are used to though. Rather than those willing and able to take the top positions being in charge it would be more of a teacher/student hierarchy. There will always be some who have wisdom to share with others and those who wish to learn will gravitate to those entities. This form of hierarchy would grow organically from the interactions of the society and the recognition of the qualities the individual and would be of benefit to all parties concerned.
