Caledonian, I’d like to see this so-called hierarchy. As far as I can tell, each facet of ourselves that we judge, is judged by the whole, and all the pieces of ourselves contribute their weight. There is no ordering of overrides. And absolutely no reason why the brain would even contain such a thing.
Elliot, you’ve been infected by a well-known fallacious meme. Psychology constrains very strongly the kind of culture we acquire. Read Tooby and Cosmides’s The Psychological Foundations of Culture (online), or grab a copy of Steven Pinker’s “The Blank Slate”.
