I think we accept social hierarchies mostly because we were born in it, molded by it. In a vertical, pyramidal, system, we are coerced to compete against each other to reach the top when most of us cant get there. The places are limited. We spend far too more energy against each other. I vastly prefer ideas of horizontal society based on cooperation. One of my favorite pragmatic book who critic social Darwinism in favor of this alternative is Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Russian naturalist and anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin.
