Emergence, Astro, and Social Theory

If all humans are fundamentally equal then why do hierarchies always form in societies. This phenomenon is similar to gravity forming stars from large sparse quantities of homogeneous particles. In these dense spheres of energy, the social urge to be part of everyone else becomes large and hyper-compounded, each person pulling each other together. Humans are not the smartest creatures, they’re just the first species that realized mass symbiosis is more optimal than competition. Tribes and partnerships were just crackles in the space time fabric of human consciousness. Early civilizations: planets and brown dwarves, beginning to show signs of the organization required to create a culture, but nowhere near the dominance of stars. Stars that fundamentally change the makeup of the universe through nuclear fusion. Modern societies that invent technology more intelligent than its makers. Stars that create new particles with new properties by the compounding of their energy. Widespread, self attracted homogeneity brings about emergence... But the star keeps iterating, making heavier and heavier particles. Humans give away their sociological energy to contribute to making these so-called “higher particles”. Eventually they lose even the uniqueness they acquired because they collapse and their constituents become conjoined. Neutron stars lose their emergence as they slowly emanate away their last will to live. over-compressed, they serve no purpose, and no purpose exists for them. Others suffer another fate, collapsing in on themselves and changing the dimensionality of the universe.
