@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. -
@autonomousHBD Problem with consensual/tribal hierarchy is it doesn't scale. This bronze age pyramidal hierarchy is bullshit.
