Interesting points about hierarchical organizations.

I'm confused about why you say that "A economy isn't structured with a purpose to use something. Economies self organize". Doesn't private ownership and other features of capitalism make it possible for this self organization?

Looking at the features of a real world system and analysing those features is different than something being structured for a purpose.
