- Hierarchies matter to us, unfortunately. We are social animals and partially hardwired to behave like wolves in a pack, or gazelles in a herd.

- Well, it appears that we're wired for hierarchy, but there are aspects of this article that I don't like. For example, it conflates variance in skill with chain of command. Actually, such wiring only serves to explain why we tolerate back government and bad employers; it has no moral implication save that we have an extra blockage to overcome in getting good policy to prevail. In so many companies, workers are given inferior seating and tools in order to preserve hierarchy, resulting it far more workplace injuries than there should be. Observing irrationality in the workplace and elsewhere, I'm sure that this article is right; to me the obvious question that arises is what we can do about it. It is clear that attemping to solve the problem with more politics is a contradiction (just check out political correctness to see this). By my (admittedly contentious) reckoning, money is actually part of the solution, since it is radically decentralised, as is common law in order to judge all equally so that bad policy can be checked. Fiat law restores hierarchy ("regulatory capture") to the system, so that common law should be preferred.

- Junk science, correlation does not denote causation. Not to mention it reads like propaganda.
Cooperation > Competition
We compete at a secondary level, IE only within the larger cooperation, our primary motive is cooperation. This is true of all mammals pretty much and closely relates to child rearing. Else we'd not have formed tribes and such we'd live like crocodiles and never have evolved as we did. - Junk science, correlation does not denote causation. Not to mention it reads like propaganda.
