Sometimes outrage is not really about politics or beliefs, but about hidden strategies we use to compete for attraction and status. In this video, I dive into the controversy around Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad with insights from psychologist and author Rob Henderson. Through the lens of evolutionary psychology, he reveals four cunning strategies driving outrage, rivalry, and reputation attacks. Beneath all of that lies an even bigger trap, the universal status game that shapes our lives, often without us realizing it.
