“Our brains adjust to both harmony and disagreement. We unconsciously try to please others, we also want to agree with others. Why? Humans value social conformity so much that they'll change their own responses - even their perceptions - to align with the group, even when the group is blatantly wrong. We are wired to conform. Your brain would rather not deal with conflict and debate. It would much prefer to lounge in the comfort of like-mindedness. The instinct for agreement has a huge impact in our lives. It is one of the reasons why in a culture of complaint, we join the fray.” — Jay Shetty
