Cancer cells form dominator hierarchies when they deviate from the natural order of the body, paralleling how individuals can unknowingly participate in exploitative systems, akin to Ponzi schemes. Every individual is part of a hierarchical structure, whether they recognize it or not, and the key to overcoming dissatisfaction lies in awareness of one's current situation. Those who criticize Ponzi schemes often remain oblivious to their own participation in damaging hierarchies, which can perpetuate their struggles. In contrast, natural or actualization hierarchies, such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, emphasize support for growth and self-actualization, focusing on empowering individuals rather than exercising control. This is evident in the rise of innovative startups and the creator economy, where self-directed learning through platforms like YouTube surpasses traditional educational models.
