@St_Rev Too vague and simplistic a definition, IMO. What more is status? Access to impunity is but one signifier.

@autonomousHBD The other two are a) right to be given stuff/take stuff from others and b) right to make demands/issue orders.
-
@autonomousHBD But I think those are secondary in an evolutionary sense. b) in particular is quite recent.
-
@St_Rev Probably right. Historically, status was best defined by who had the most people under them, labor wise, politically, etc. -
@St_Rev Or whomever had the most 'value' in material terms, i.e. without them, what would we lose? -
@St_Rev On this basis, hierarchies formed in a organic way. -
@autonomousHBD Mm. I concede the authority of the bootmaker in the matter of making boots, but most modern hierarchy is diseased.
-
@St_Rev The disease, really, is cronyism, which in itself is a product of organic hierarchies. - 6 more replies
