What's so amazing about this historical moment is that it is bringing class to the fore and we have to think about the nature of work and hierarchy.
Bell Hooks
Image
Sexism is the foundation on which all tyranny is built. Every social form of hierarchy and abuse is modeled on male-over-female domination.
Andrea Dworkin
Image
Nature admits no hierarchy of beauty or usefulness or importance.
Stephen Fry
Image
Different people rise to the top under socialism than under capitalism. The higher on the socialist hierarchy you look, the more you will find people who are too incompetent to do the job they are supposed to do.
Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Image
In companies whose wealth is intellectual capital, networks, rather than hierarchies, are the right organizational design.
Thomas A. Stewart

My view is that leadership is not about position - you can lead very well with no one reporting to you in a hierarchy and you can lead quite poorly with many people below you in the traditional chain of command. Leadership is about mobilizing people toward valued goals, and anyone can do this, in any aspect of life.
Stewart D. Friedman

I wasn't really geeky. In terms of the high school hierarchy, I was very much in the middle ground. You have the really popular guys, you have the nerdy guys, and then you have the people who really don't care - and that was me. I wasn't really picked on or anything like that.

If we can no longer believe in heavenly hierarchies, extraterrestrial hierarchies will suffice.
Brad Steiger

In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence ... in time every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties ... Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.
Laurence J. Peter

A natural hierarchy is simply an order of increasing wholeness, such as: particles to atoms to cells to organisms, or letters to words to sentences to paragraphs. The whole of one level becomes part of the whole of the next. In other words, natural hierarchies are composed of holons.
Ken Wilber
Image
When there is no type hierarchy you don't have to manage the type hierarchy.
Rob Pike
Image
The hierarchy of relations, from the molecular structure of carbon to the equilibrium of the species and ecological whole, will perhaps be the leading idea of the future.
Joseph Needham
Image
All power rests on hierarchy: An army is nothing but a well-organized lynch mob.
Edward Abbey
Image
Man is/the symbol-using (symbol making, symbol-misusing) animal/inventor of the negative (or moralized by the negative)/separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making/goaded by the spirit of hierarchy (or moved by the sense of order)/and rotten with perfection.
Kenneth Burke
Image
Every seeming equality conceals a hierarchy.
Mason Cooley
Image
Experience has taught me that the shallowest of communist platitudes contains more of a hierarchy of meaning than contemporary bourgeois profundity.
Walter Benjamin
Image
GenXers naturally bristle at hierarchies, but thrive on partnerships.
Mal Fletcher
Image
Defining OO as based on the use of class hierarchies and virtual functions is also practical in that it provides some guidance as to where OO is likely to be successful.
Bjarne Stroustrup
Image
Ideals jump across the hierarchies of the printed word.
Dennis Potter

Profit maximization is the murderous strategy of global corporation hierarchies
Jean Ziegler
Image
I've always run by the hierarchy of If not funny, interesting. If not interesting, hot. If not hot, bizarre. If not bizarre, break something.
Jon Stewart
Image
Hierarchy is a kind of order of abstractions.
Grady Booch
Image
One can build the Empire State Building, discipline the Prussian army, make a state hierarchy mightier than God, yet fail to overcome the unaccountable superiority of certain human beings.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
There's a really rough and relatively consistent hierarchy of concerns. My musical interests come first and principally my fascination with how notes and rhythms interlock. Then comes the technical side like programming, instruments and designing instruments. Next is production and mixing and beyond that I start to care less.
