Sometimes it seems like there are multiple competing hierarchies. Different “schools” of thought where the local correction gradients flow towards an attractor, often a single person or a small cluster, whose ideas are irreconcilable with the other attractors. Instead of a single pyramid we have a whole mountain range.
In my limited experience (as a student, not as a pioneer of anything), noticing this seeming is usually also the path to fixing the problem, by trying to find out why the seeming happens and what real thing might be behind it. I’ve noticed that most of my fellow humans learn many things without ever noticing that tendency.
