This has nothing to do with hierarchy. Someone who is extremely intelligent and educated gains a lot of social status. But that has nothing to do with hierarchies. At least not necessarily. For example, I don’t think anyone feels subordinate to Eminem just because he has a lot of social status.
So are you saying humans don’t seek social status?

You think too high of Eminem fans, or fans in general. A system that ignores the instinct of humans to follow or lead is doomed to fail without permanent, pervasive, and relentless (re)education. Call it aculturization if you want:

There is no such instinct.

If you’re going to argue, please don’t make people look up basic stuff, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

Social media is built on social status and comparison.

I wouldn’t argue that social status = hierarchy. What is social status? Respect, mainly. Dignity. Everyone wants those things, but they can be given to everyone. When someone wants more than that, hey are a problem, not the natural order taking over.
