It goes beyond human organizations too. Hierarchies are a natural structure and something we share with lobsters. That's how embedded they are and why suppressing them doesn't work. Life finds a way, hierarchies find a way.
- goldenkey 4y agoI heard that lobster fact from Dr Jordan Peterson
- Applejinx 4y agoLobster bro has not done well, either, so I wonder whether this is a 'fact' worth taking axiomatically. I suspect the reality is more of a dialectic between lobsterism and the intelligent undermining of hierarchy, because systems work better when the system thrives, not when the system is beholden to the biggest lobster in the pot :) the system's goals must surely be on a different level to the lobsters, and the system has to compete in turn with other systems… in a sense it's lobsters all the way up, but in another sense it's always necessary to balance the lobsterism with intelligence.
