In all social systems we find hierarchies. If we took ten perfect strangers and put them in a room for several hours, when we came back we would find a social structure had emerged, and at the core of that structure was a hierarchy. This is not a bad thing. This is the natural emergence of spontaneous recognition of qualities in those around us that have roots in an extremely primitive concern for survival. The world in which we find ourselves has moved so far beyond the survival ethic that we are surrounded by hierarchies which have no basis in the original primitive cooperative realities, and in which ineffectual pedagogues can prosper.
The social structures of the contemporary world are cluttered with hierachic structures in which all that is necessary is conformity and agressive passivity.
Do we suppose this will work out well?
