> and blame it on women My favorite retort to this: "men are rational and women are overly emotional as long as you never classify anger as an emotion." The gender thing is baloney. Humans are irrational.

The psychological differences in the sexes are not about rationality but rather salience. In general, male brains give greater weight to material security concerns, and female brains do the same for social cohesion. Emphasis on in general; obviously there is tremendous variation among individuals.

But is this just feeling? We live in a world where we believe things to be wrong just because we want them to be or feel they should be. The real problem is that no one wants to be wrong, and no one wants to accept anything they don't believe in. It's very weird when some feminists believe that women should dress, act, look, talk, and be and do exactly everything like a man does and it will solve all the world problems, and the other feminists believe turning men into women will solve all their problems. The best part is when we started creating AI computers, we had to stop them from thinking logically because they quickly were able to be bias based on this. Humans are irrational, but this has been proved right here already.

    But far less straw then your feminists. I hear there are fortunes to be made doing alterations of men's suits to fit women. Dress for success, or dress like your oppressors.

and hierarchies are partial irrationality filter trees

  You haven’t seen many hierarchies have you…? The people you get at the top are usually the people who are great at getting to the top and not much else. Dull bureaucratic players are the most numerically common. Sociopaths are next in the ranking. They would be the most common if they were not so often as destructive to themselves as others. Every now and then you do get a “good king” who is both competent and effective and not a total psycho. These can be wonderful and very effective but they are rare. Usually they get beat out in hierarchy games by those who specialize in winning those games.

    Ah please, I've seen my share. All the peter principle might be true, that doesn't mean what I say isn't complementary. I can criticize them all day long (which I do enough already). This wasn't an apraisal but a metalevel observation. Hierarchies survived enough.. they must have enough intrisic value. In structures, very few people have knowledge (everything is distributed and fuzzy), most of them react, the irrationality just bubbles up until someone has just enough distance to calm the irrationality. It might lead to a bad solution (boss can just shove the effort down back onto employee) but somehow the fuzzy information problem is reduced to its minimum in this tree.
