*be wired to do something:
The phrase can be a metaphor in a way alluding to the behavior of a system. Or it may be literal. We might also say "be programmed" https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/be-programmed:
If you think about our body in general, especially the nervous system, it resembles a network of connections like wires (電線). That is, we are like systems connected by wires, so we are "set up" (被設定) to behave a certain way.
Examples:
•The human brain is wired to look for danger.
•Humans are wired to be social. We are not wired to be alone.
•Some people are actually genetically wired to dislike vegetables.
•Our brains are wired to make sense of things by drawing connections between thoughts, ideas, actions, and consequences.
