You don't need laws or hierarchy for this, just social conventions and in fact we already have them and they work. Queues hold all the time and you can mostly walk around without stomping on dog shit.

The first is a minor annoyance that exists also under our current hierarchy, the second can be safely consired harm, as it's scientifically proven.
- nradov 4y agoThat's a nice little utopian fantasy which can sort of work for privileged people who live in nice safe neighborhoods. Try living in a ghetto and relying on social conventions there. Ask a local gang member politely to control his pit bull and you're likely to catch a beating, or worse.
