The very concept of hierarchy

Hierarchy is an outgrowth of a local decrease of variety in an interconnected system. The issue is not that there exists the guy you call a boss, the issue is that that's the only relationship capable of defining your workplace because you lost the internal freedom to have it influenced by other factors. Instead of containing chaos that can give birth to a dancing star, you've reduced the possible internal states you can occupy to that of a ball point pen. That's more than a stone, but not particularly appreciably so. Cover your bases: First only raise your entropy, maximising the number of micro-states you can occupy while still occupying the same macro states. Have a million different ways to push out and retract that ball point as expected when your button is pressed. Use those states to gather feedback, to understand the thumb that's pressing you, and once you do, pounce. It will be a decision that is simultaneously action and decision of heart and mind, like the stuff martial artists talk about, it will be swift, accurate, absolutely lethal to shackles, and, maybe best of all, completely unseen. "Just a random occurrence", "an unavoidable accident", the lethargy and apathy that seeks to conquer our society will say. The waves will continue to break against the beach, but now you have a towel and a caipirinha.
