“The reason people become so deferential towards prestigious people is that they are motivated to get close to prestigious people in order to maximize their own learning and raise their own prestige by association.. Prestigious people in turn will allow some supplicants to get close to them because having a group of followers is reliable signal in the community of their high standing and prestige.”

I am fascinated. This book is going to take some pondering, so I’m marking the pages that have bold statements to which I’d like to reflect back.
this page reflects that everything may seem broken now, but that has always been true even in the 1970s in the 1930s the difference being it’s been blasted out on phones with emotions shared all over the place.
