EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal, featuring Ali Abdaal and Will Storr, How And Why We Play Social Status Games - Will Storr explores Status as human fuel: why we compete, connect, and compare Will Storr explains his view that the human brain remixes reality into heroic stories, while the deeper “truth” underneath is a tribal drive to “get along and get ahead,” making status competition a constant feature of social life.
