This episode explores the real engine behind corporate promotion in Japan: not skill, not logic, but a primal instinct to sense power. Shigeki argues that those who “smell” hierarchy—who instantly detect who must be pleased, avoided, or feared—advance faster than the educated or rational. In contrast, highly literate people lose because they rely on correctness rather than instinct. Through dark humor and social critique, the episode examines why power-sensing cannot be learned in adulthood and why Japan’s corporate world rewards wild intuition over competence. A sharp look into the inverted logic shaping Japan’s salaryman society.
