you know that for a hierarchy (in the anarchist sence) to exist there needs to be 2 groups of people and a gatekeeping power right? What would the two groups of people be in your examples? patricians and plebians?
This isn't correct. For example, the hierarchy between a parent and a child or a mentor and an apprentice, or a traffic officer and a driver.

You don't need a council, all you need is scientists. If you can't prove the science is sound to your peers, it's not science.

The tax collection can be fully automated - taxes on goods sold, on public and private transport / fuel, on property, on utilities. No reason to appoint officers to collect it after the fact when it can be automatically withdrawn by an algorithm during each transaction.

How do you expect to protect the country from imperialist attacks without a military and some kind of border control?

There needs to be proof for it to be actually accepted science.

Protective hierarchies that are needed for the betterment of our society e.g. to protect workers, public health, transport (like traffic laws, border control) and public safety.

I fail to see a reason a person can't learn the science of baking without actually practicing it. Ever hear of a theoretical physicist?

The science on whether plants possess consciousness is pretty conclusive. They're just not.

Hierarchy will never go away as we secretly all love it a little too much. It delineates what is valid vs non-valid in our eyes and projects the illusion of meaning and depth to otherwise meaningless phenomena.
Thank you, I'm so glad someone has the bravery to say it here.
