>Why? Because people need ways to feel like they understand and can predict other people's behavior. > Would you agree Yes > if so, why do you think that is? Because society. Literally. You need to "predict" behaviors around you, it's only natural, every animal checks for threats. The moment you live in a society, you have to live with lots of other humans, so you inevitably develop lots of heuristics to deal with them. From a stranger passing on a street, to your coworker. Predicting behavior is the basis of society, it's the reason traffic rules sort of work, why we can even have such a thing as laws.
