When Lobsters Taught Us About Standing Tall and Choosing Our Path
A lobster loses a fight on the ocean floor. Within moments, its brain chemistry shifts-serotonin drops, posture collapses, confidence evaporates. The defeated creature literally shrinks into itself, and its nervous system begins rewiring to accept subordinate status. Now here's the startling part: this same neurological dance has been playing out for 350 million years, long before humans walked upright. And that antidepressant your doctor prescribed? It works on lobsters too, boosting their serotonin and restoring their dominant stance. We share more with these ancient crustaceans than we'd like to admit. Somewhere deep in your brain, an ancient calculator constantly monitors your position in the social hierarchy. It watches how others treat you, adjusts your neurochemistry accordingly, and shapes your entire perception of possibility. Low status means restricted serotonin, heightened stress responses, and a defeated posture that signals vulnerability to everyone around you. But here's the redemptive truth: positive feedback loops work both ways. When you consciously stand up straight-both physically and metaphorically-you're not just faking confidence. You're sending signals to that primitive brain that circumstances have changed. Your nervous system responds, people begin treating you differently, and genuine transformation becomes possible. In a world of seven billion people connected by screens, hierarchies have become dizzyingly vertical. No matter your skill level, someone exists who makes you look incompetent by comparison. Your internal critic knows this and condemns your mediocrity relentlessly, suggesting that only delusion can save you from despair. But perhaps the game itself is rigged-and perhaps you're the one who rigged it. What you aim at determines what you see. This isn't metaphorical-it's neurological reality. Your high-resolution vision is metabolically expensive, so your brain must triage ruthlessly, pointing attention at specific targets while everything else fades into background noise. In famous experiments, people counting basketball passes missed a person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene. They weren't blind; they simply weren't looking. When facing crisis, consider that life isn't the problem-your aim is.
