> You can be technologically brilliant and at the same time not dialled in to those kind of social/people dynamics.

I came to that realization rather late. Now, I reflect often to optimize for this.

(Anyways, better late than never)

I suppose it's related to game theory and I am of the opinion that it's not spoken/written about enough.

Yeah, game theory is a great lens because fundamentally it's about understanding people's incentives. On top of that, you add in irrationality and you get behavioural economics which is basically this stuff playing out at scale.
