The moment you put more than three people in a room you have politics. You have envies, jealousy , corruption,treason, sex, desires , power and complex social dynamics. You also have loyalty,interest and admiration , mutual support, play and fun. I work with computers and machines that have no emotion, always do what are told to do millions of times without deviating an inch(or centimeter). People are not like that. They will always surprise you, for the bad or for the good. If you want to be successful, it is a good idea learning about people in anything that you will do, even for working in places where in theory you won't need it.

> You have envies, jealousy , corruption,treason, sex, desires , power and complex social dynamics Of course there's that but more importantly, you'll have those who consider the facts honestly and those who misinterpret or deny them for their own profit. > machines [...] always do what are told to do millions of times without deviating an inch Off topic, but that's a grave misconception: machines do fail and sometimes in non obvious ways > The moment you put more than three people in a room you have politics. You seem to follow the line that people with diverging opinions cannot agree on facts. That's not true (for an example, read the article till the footnote), and IMO that's a dangerous, antisocial idea. Of course agreeing on facts (and sometimes agreeing the facts are not well known) is only one thing. That does not make people agree on the solution.

It has always fascinated me how the moment you introduce two friends to each other, suddenly they start worrying who you spend more time with, etc. I prefer to have my friendships 1 on 1, of course that might be "concealment" in a way, since I do exist outside of that one friendship. Virtually every "group" of friends I have been a part of had some sort of leader, and fragmented into smaller cliques somehow.
