The Excitement of Drawing Diagrams and Understanding the Complexity
Reading and taking notes made me realize the complexity of the topic, and I found it fascinating. Our brains are wired to seek out and prioritize social hierarchies, which is beneficial for our species. However, this also means we are constantly driven to care about these dynamics. Natural selection has shaped our brains this way. Additionally, studies have shown that even small status indicators, like a pen on a desk, can significantly impact individuals' behavior. This phenomenon has been observed in corporations as well, where high-ranking individuals received special desk sets. This intriguing concept has excited and engaged me, as it reveals a deeper understanding of human psychology.
