Hierarchy is a vertical system of management and subordination. It is universal for everything living and relates us with the rest of the animal world. Their purpose is to provide maximum possible appropriation and consumption of environmental resources by their members through any available means, including at the expense of resources of other hierarchies, and also the protection of its members from other hierarchies. And these structures can do nothing else. At the same time, self-limitation and activities for the good of other hierarchies are completely unnatural for hierarchies.
Culture is characteristic only of humans and primarily is a system of rules of self-limitation.
Mythology and science, art and religion, morals and customs are by their very essence collections of prohibitions, expressed by different means and intended to prevent conflicts with the environment. Associations of true creators of culture are generally non-hierarchical, and as a result of this they reside in harmony with the world. As a rule, they transcend borders and as structures are virtually unnoticeable. The same as there are no reasons to hope for an adequately quick change in the world order. It follows that one needs to clearly understand that preventing the environmental catastrophe of humankind is impossible.
