    I’m not misrepresenting anything you’re saying. What Freeman shows is that power structures form in ad hoc fashion within flat organization, and it’s often narcissists, psychopaths, and other types of manipulators who end up in charge of these structures. I’m directly addressing your points, and pointing out the fallacy of your argument.

    The reality is that power structures organically form within flat organization, and the reason this happens are explained in detail in my original article. The difference is that when these structures form in ad hoc fashion, there is far less accountability than when they’re created with intention.

    You’re doing the exact same thing. Again.

    You’re axiomatically saying flat systems allow bad actors but hierarchies are resistant to bad actors because hierarchies are created by good guys with good intentions. You offer no proof, there are glaring contradictions. This is going nowhere.

      I’m saying that once you understand the problems hierarchies solve and the reasons they form within different contexts, human and otherwise, then it becomes obvious that they necessarily will form within flat structures as they attempt to scale.

      You keep bleating about “glaring contradictions” but you have yet to articulate any. What you’ve done through this whole discussion is to studiously ignore the actual points being made while making demonstrably false claims. This is indeed going nowhere.
