Comment on Are hierarchies inherently bad in all aspects? or are there domains where heirarchies are good to have?

Bad in all aspects? People wouldn’t form hierarchies all the time if there were only downsides to it. It’s pretty much the clearest and easiest way to organize.

Perhaps the lower strata of the hierarchy experience nothing but downsides, whereas the top likely experiences minimal to none. This might be where narratives come into play to make the lower tiers believe the hierarchy is good for all.

  It’s an easy way to stay organized, and being organized makes the whole operation, whatever it is that you’re trying to do, run better. It can be “good for all” when used properly as a tool like in a representative democracy, and not as the entire system.
