Agreed with the status/feelings cause. And I’m not 100% sure the solution is “prevent people from doing the thing they instinctively want to do” (especially “all the time.”)
My current guess is “let people crowd around the charismatic/and/or/interesting people, but treat it more like a panel discussion or fireside chat, like you might have at a conference, where mostly 2-3 people are talking and everyone else is more formally ‘audience.’”
But doing that all the time would also be kinda bad in different ways.
In this case… you might actually be able to fix this with technology? Can you literally put room-caps on the rooms, so if someone wants to be the 4th or 6th person in a room they… just… can’t?
