Machiavellianism is a term used to describe a Political Philosophy of force and action over anything else. Ideas like "Kill or be killed" sum it up.
Machiavelli wrote a book called "The Prince" that was meant to be a book style known now as a "Mirror for Princes" meaning it was written for people to read who were going to be in charge of a Nation one day. The book explains how slimy Politics is, but from the perspective of the slimy Politician that thinks he is living a fulfilling life by doing so.
During the time of Machiavelli Italy was being run by the Catholic Church via Mercenary Politicians known as Contractors. The modern and near recent Italian Mob also operates with Machiavellian Political Philosophy, which includes the use of "Thugs" to get things done with force.
Tupac, known for promoting the idea of "Thug Life" in America, was known by the nick name of "Makaveli" and he made an album called "Killuminati" where he suggested all the people on the streets stop being concerned with any kind of Elite and rise up.
Machiavellianism has been a term that has been used to educated people about what the ruling classes were doing and is responsible for the modern idea that "Politicians are slimy" we all just assume it now because Machiavelli showed everyone how it works in his book "The Prince" and he is responsible for much of the study we now call "Political Ethics".
Wirearchy is a new system of Hierarchy or better defined as a breakdown of Hierarchy that has occurred since the coming of the Information Age. Previously the Government and Central Churches had the most access to information, but now anyone can pretty much access any information at any time. This has caused a shift where what used to be the "Elite" which was wealthy and better studied classes in society, to become part of a "Flat Organization". This has not happened all over the world yet, but in many places the institutions no longer hold social power over the people. Examples of this are the Arab Spring, and the Global riots over University Tuition.
Not long ago, most people would spend their whole lives without going more than 100 miles from where they lived. Since the invention of cars and planes in the past 110 years, there are now people that complain about how long security takes. It's not like "I got on a plane and flew in the sky today" it's "I had to wait in a huge line, and the flight was delayed". And the internet has brought the world even closer together, this is the Wirearchy.
And from this has arisen things like Google, which everyone has to refer themselves to to get URLs. So Google is kind of a central point in the decentralized Wirearchy. And sites like Facebook offer a place for people to find like minded people and share things, so they have become a central point in the decentralized Wirearchy.
There are also sites like Myspace which has become a central place for Music, then Forums, Wikipedia, Youtube and all kinds of things. But they are all part of a Flat Organization overall, they have just created little mountains and mounds that people can choose to walk up or jump between on the overall flat organization.
