"Except that's the problem, common sense doesn't mean universal. Not everybody needs a leader, but not everybody can thrive being completely independent."

It's a bit of a playing Devil's Advocate argument, Riku's comment is a lot like Kol's, intended to spark a conversation about aspects around and involving the topic, to broaden the debate. There are a lot of moving parts to consider.

"At the very least, we're gonna need things like this, where everyone can speak up. There's also the risk that if we can't agree and work together, we'll be reset."
