Alright, what's your plan to abolish hierarchies, chief?
Call them by another name, silly
Also, gotta make sure they form implicitly without any means of oversight or recall. https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
Fantastic essay, even have it in my reading list. Really helps nail down why formalizing groups actually helps with transparency, it's like casting a spotlight.
Exactly, if hierarchies are going to end up forming anyways, it's much better to build them consciously and put in safety mechanisms.
