In The Knowledge Illusion, Sloman and Fernbach show that our intelligence resides not in individual brains but in the collective mind.

아프리카에는 야생말 다리에 붙어 피를 빨아먹는 박쥐가 산다. 다리에 흡혈박쥐가 붙은 야생말은 결국 죽음을 맞는다. 그런데 놀라운 사실은 박쥐가 빨아먹는 피의 양은 미미해 자신보다 몸집이 거대한 말의 건강에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 없다는 것이다. 말을 죽음으로 몰아넣은 원인은 분노다. 아무리 발버둥을 쳐도 떼어낼 수 없는 위치에 붙어 피를 빠는 박쥐를 향한 분노가 말을 죽음으로 몰아넣는다. 이렇게 실제 일어난 일보다는 그와 관련된 심리 반응이 결과의 중요 원인이 되는 경우가 많다는 사실이 점점 밝혀지고 있다. 이 같은 이유로 심리학은 현대에 이르러 재조명을 받았다. 심리학의 쓸모를 최대한 살린 『심리학을 만나 행복해졌다』는 중국에서 출간되자마자 수많은 독자의 관심을 끌어 150만 부 이상이 판매되었다. 수십만 개의 독자 리뷰가 달리는 등 뜨거운 반응을 얻었다.

Status signaling isn’t just the province of the immature or insecure but a fundamental human need to secure social standing. It drives our behavior, forms our tastes, determines what we buy, and ultimately shapes who we are.

Alfred Adler was an Austrian physician, psychotherapist, and one of the founding fathers of modern psychology. In Understanding Human Nature, (1928), Adler sets out to acquaint the general public with the basics of Individual Psychology, which holds that the driving force of human behavior is the individual’s striving for power, partly to compensate for feelings of inferiority. The purpose of the book is to identify mistaken behaviors and show how they undermine healthy relationships, in order to gently guide the individual towards adjustment.

Instead, modern cues are setting off ancient, instinctive responses that worked to keep us safe in the Stone Age but lead us astray today.
