I think there's probably around fifty or so factors humans use across our various senses to decide how to handle another human or animal. Makes me wonder how much of Aya's "authority" is real and how much of it is just hot air. Many creatures in nature bluff by various means, maybe it's not too hard to fake being spiritually powerful?
Anyway, I've met people whom I consider to be the very definition of 'warmth' so I'd assume you could sway animals by having a kind aura.
> I would imagine that people studying societal mechanisms would rather lean into hierarchies as benefiting both sides, even if unequally, considering how humans are rather successful creatures as a whole specie in hierarchical environments.
People love the idea of strict equality nowadays and take it as an intrinsic good that should always be worked towards, even if it has worse outcomes.
It's easy to tell when someone believes in this, since they'll despise trading games, like the stock market, because they split things into winners/losers, one person will always make more money then the other. What they neglect to do is look beyond the money being immediately made and see the context goods are being traded in. For example: I might take a loss on a trade because I need capital to make a bigger bet somewhere else. The buyer made a buck and I got flexibility.
The other thing that irks them is luck, because happenstance will naturally make people unequal, and if you believe everyone is born the same, then someone better off must have been more fortunate. This leads them to try various ways of equalizing society and sometimes, insanely, they'll try to create ANOTHER hierarchy to create a 'sane' world.
In a sense, I think these people are Tengu-like: very dogmatic in their craving of consistency, but their principles are wrong and they spurn risk, so true believers are quickly out-competed by those who're willing to take gambles. If you want to beat a Tengu, carefully manage your principles and embrace fortune.
