Hierarchy

3 posts in this topic

The more i interact with humans, the more i understand how hierarchical they are. 

People aren't equal by any means. First it started with pick up artistry, which taught that the more you act like you're above the girl, the more the approach is high quality. 

Then at work, which taught me just how much money is important for classiness. Before my job i used to subscribe to the idea that classiness comes from education, manners, etc... And of course they do play a role. But money is also equally important. Because it's very difficult to act classy when you're trying to spare money all the time, or when you don't have the money for chic clothes, or to tip the server, etc... 

So yeah, the more i gain social experience, the more i realize how hierarchical humans are, in terms of elegance, manners, and as well as sophistication. 

I think this is more pronounced in places where criminality and poverty is rampant. 

That's why i also think poverty generates crime. Because when you're at the bottom of the social hierarchy, you don't have access to good education, money, opportunities, etc... The manners of people around you aren't very charitable or elegant. Hence you can devolve into crime quite easily. Gangs, mafias, drug trafficking, etc...

Hierarchies are awesome, as long as the floor is reasonable. Creations that are of superior quality should be elevated over the more standard ones otherwise we lose so much nuance in life. I really started to notice this when I put more effort into systems that I was building and could both see the people that put even more than me in their systems and they were working much better than mine and those that put less effort than got fewer results or none at all.

If there was no hierarchy you could put the next 10 years working daily on a life purpose and building it to be as beautiful as you want and you would get no more results than someone just drugging themselves and drinking for 10 years. That's part of the result that communists unintentionally create through their aim at equality.

Equality of opportunity vs equality of outcomes is an important distinction to think about. 


The dream is not easy but each day we're getting closer

Historicaly what was the order of Hierarchy building upon each other.  

Ex: Today we have class levels. But one may intuit that long in human evolution past there was not Middle Class, Uper Class, there was just levels of Strength,Cleverness, Survival Strategies. 

Maybe Even Race sergregation was absent since the people were living in their own Geographic areas, maybe some Migration that caused interace encounters leading to fight or maybe collaborations. But i guess racism was not a thing long long ago. 

My point is, the first form of Domination must be the Hierarchy of Sexes. Males dominion upon Females and kids since they relatively were more Vulnerable ( females maybe can figth too but during pergnancy they are dependent.

Of course the level of domination oven women in the pre-Historic times may not get to the point of what we see in the Handmaid Tale Series, but we can see that this gender war is present over the whole human History.

Hierarchy being a pyramid is something that must be built. If so, there must be a pattern.
