Hierarchy versus Meritocracy

This is the kind of crazy thing that runs through it mind like a freight train at random moments.:
So lobsters and humans diverged from a common ancestor over 300 million years ago and lobsters have a neurological circuit that is tuned to their place in their hierarchy. If they fight and lose, they shrink down a little and recoil from that competitor in the future. If they fight and win, they stretch out in a more victorious pose. So what?
Their hierarchy system runs on serotonin just human brains.
So what? This means that hierarchies are an intrinsic and essential part of being for many species  including humans, and how could in not be? Effectively, it is a biological case for the purpose of hierarchies in social orders and how they rank individuals which offers preferential access to mating.
It is arguably a natural law, a meritocracy, which by design encourages the mating success of the best candidates, those who offer the best qualities to future generations.
Humans are no different, except for our qualifiers. We, in our comfortable lives over the last hundred years or so, have lost touch with what is important and have corrupted our own selection mechanisms so that now some bad guys are selected as the best guy, most desirable candidate for mating.
This societal dysfunction has caused major resentment in the hearts of young men who scrupulously do the good right and honorable things only to be overlooked by the target of their affections,  so they become assholes to attract what they desire, and often stop aspiring to the good. This has huge societal impact in a dysfunctional feedback loop.
This is a parallel to the body politic in that once upon a time, it was a hierarchy of honor and decency, learned and wise. But it is no longer that. The Senate and Congress are no longer populated with the best and brightest, operating with good and noble intentions, it is all posturing and manipulation, games of control, mud slinging and selling us, the public, down the river for their own payday.
But what if it were a meritocracy?
What if we could sweep the leeches and controlling hatemongers out of office and replace then all with people who have some scruples and decency about them?
What if our political system caused the best and brightest, those with the greatest measure of honor and conscientiousness to rise to the top, to positions of greater power because those are the people who could best be trusted with that power?
Could you imagine the greatness that could be achieved?
Yeah. That was a 2 second thought at about 10am today
Hierarchy is a meritocracy. And hierarchy is a natural law, therefore a meritocracy is the best possible system to employ to govern because it is analogous to a natural law, or at very least the closest to one in can think of.
