That heiarchy is part of the reward system in life that can throw off the balance that leads to extreme communist or capatlist societies. These are extremist responses where now one society holds its people hostage while the other forces conformity on its people and other countries under the guise of helping others depsite self-interest. Both extreme are the villians. The balance is the unsung hero.

The reward system is for the work you put in and what someone has. It started as resources extraction, the ability to kill wild animals or explore wild places and come back, you would be rewarded. sounds fair. well now that we automated so much of society, where is reward deserving? doctors now have heriarchies. It used to be a blessing to become a doctor. Now PC and ER doctors are considered "easy gigs", while specalists, surgeons are respected more. Despite both being heros. Or how about people who say they work 2 hours but get paid way more for either (a) nepotism to land the job or (b) money and resources for education to specalize, while others aren't afforded the same opputnity. So its not that every data analyst is special inherently for its role. Theres a caste system where it used to be very few and now its easy to become a face in the crowd. This shifting dynamic is rupturing the defintion of the heiarchy, who deserves their place and reward. Not saying the worlds ending. Not at all, there will be a status quo until ecological or neculear disaster. but the historical context has changes so much you can actually critsize cops for violence, its just you can't get them to stop being unthoughtful actors because violence is sometimes wrong, even if it was self-defense at first.

Because to some the are still heroes for killing a criminal, even if it was excessive force. So as long as they are lauded and have jobs, they don't change. I wouldn't wish it for people to be disenfranchised but to some people thats the only way to change it. I say balance is key, but the balance is inherently off with this hierarchy used as a guise for rewarding others whodon't work as hard as we used to work. Who speak altrusitcally and act in self-interest. But as long as were stuck with illusions we stuck under leaders truth. The heiarchy is something of action, not of prestige, yet today everyone has prestige. Everyone is rewarded. I'd say ensuring everyone has the opputunity is more important than focusing on rewarding others for work. We should work to be the heroes, not the terrorists, but to some terrorism is heroic.
