> Well, we also organize the systems that organize people into hierarchies
Yes, we tend to put the most intelligent people into the best positions. Clearly what we need is more cognitive diversity because hierarchy and ranking is bad.
But is it necessarily a bad thing? It seems like a way for nature to filter out less competitive genetic material. There are always going to be hierarchies and there will always be people at the bottom. It's an inherent part of how matter organises itself.
