Jordan Peterson has been accused of being a sold out apologist for the male, capitalist patriarchy, and his brilliant but suspected rationale that hierarchies are natural, inevitable and desirable as the best and brightest among us rise to the top of every hierarchy, based on the superior IQ, the hard work and conscientiousness.
He has a point about hierarchies and that is how it has always been. He is moderate though, and points out that hierarchies often become corrupted, and the the dispossessed may rise up and over-topple it.
I cannot fight his conclusions but suggest that he does not possess the whole appreciation of the problem as I do from the perspective of Mavellonialism: since I accurately describe the problem, I am confident that my solution will work, helping hierarchy-destined humanity to escape the worst of its inequities, unequal outcomes and the suffering endured by millions of have-not at the base of the pyramid.
Peterson avows that we naturally and inevitably end up living in social systems replete with hierarchical structures. We naturally are also lazy, unambitious, preferring safety to adventure, dependence and security over independence, self-reliance and risk. We are born cowards, born evil, born to run in groups and to refuse to individuate, and born to serve Satan. These are all default positions.
What if the Light Couple and their saints, angels, followers and living angels have learned to unnaturally good, smart, self-realizing, self-loving, curious, adventurous, individual-living, and serving God? What if God sends De's angels to guide us and teach us to living as pious but temperate individuating life as anarchist supercitizens.
Imagine what a society of individuators working, making money, self-realizing and running the constitutional republic could accomplish. Their class would be roughly a one class, classless society, an upper middle class system, a capitalistic society with a few rich people and a few poor people.
Hierarchies would still exist but the self-legislating, anarchist supercitizens would keep hierarchies honest, competent and minimally interfering with the lives of the liberty-loving individuator anarchists, having become very sophisticated, spiritually-oriented and unnatural, reasonable and alert, impossible to make group-livers, stratified automatons niched at various levels of the hierarchies, dead, compliant and without plans dreams or hope.
