Abstract: We discuss the Higgs mass and cosmological constant hierarchy puzzles with emphasis on the
interplay of Poincare invariance, mass generation and renormalization group invariance.
A plausible explanation involves an emergent Standard Model with the cosmological constant scale
suppressed by power of the large scale of emergence. In this scenario the cosmological constant scale
0.002 eV and (Majorana) neutrino masses should be of similar size.
