Profound thought of the day

Hierarchy is humanity’s substitute for knowledge. When you don’t know what to do, you find the human who knows what to do and cling on tight. Clueless humans will build hierarchies of (apparently) knowledgeable humans to think, decide and act on their behalf.

The enemy of hierarchy is widely distributed knowledge.
