Seems like you’re confusing hierarchy with ‘formal corporate hierarchy.’
No, I’m aware there are other kinds, and EA has less of those as well.
frankly I’m a bit confused as to your point?
Okay, if it wasn’t clear enough: a few people in the middle of a social movement knowing each other doesn’t make it a hierarchy.
Perhaps we just have different definitions of the word. There are a small group of people who are tightly knit and control many of the large scale decisions in EA.
To me, that is clearly a form of hierarchy. Where does that word break down for you?
