The group is increasingly institutionalizing itself, making further and increasing demands of its own operations, without I believe taking into consideration that in the end it is cogged by human energy and emotion.

It is actually completely natural that there be a pecking order. Humans have always organized themselves into groups - how those groups are formed, and upon what conceptual framework they operate then becomes the interesting and contemporary question. And inevitably, we will run out of steam.
