We need to humanize the hierarchy and make it less primate in nature without losing sight of our innate nature.

But the hierarchy is human, exactly human.

We are innately a social animal that live in groups, groups in which the individuals order themselves.

That we also have the mental capacity to rationalize our empathy… means we seek out ways to mitigate the worse outcomes of our need to rank, but the empathy only goes so far.

And there are individual humans (see Trump) who lack the ability to empathize.
