Inevitably, all hierarchical organizations end up on the wrong side of history.
In hierarchies, people compete for position.
People with principles, morals, integrity and/or empathy will have choices that they simply will not make.
People without those things are not constrained. They can and will make whatever choices might benefit them, with no regard for the consequences to others.
