Status drives everything we do. It's what humans care about more than anything else. It's obviously not flame. It's very real and very important

Right, but real talk: most people really mean impressing their immediate peers and maybe some cute girl they're talking to. Being UMC nothing you say or buy will impress actual elites. Sergey Brin doesn't care about your watch and doesn't make him think it makes you on his level.

The things that provide you with actual status are not something you really "buy into." For example, I have no idea if Sergey Brin has a yacht or private jet or whatever. I know who he is because of his role at Google. IRL it works the same way for pretty much everyone else too. The stuff that actually matters is inherent to you.

It's the opposite: people now (correctly, in many ways) perceive the entire world to be their "immediate peers," since the world is The Matrix now. They care about what everyone, everywhere thinks of them, because that's what their brain tells them is Real

Status is very real and the "illusion" of the One Global Matrix "Society" has caused unbelievable catastrophic damage

lolno. UMC people don't perceive your typical MMCer (teacher, accountant, whatever) to be their peers, MMCers don't see LMCers (plumber, welder, whatever) to be their peers, LMCers don't see LCers (McWorkers) to be their peers, and true elites don't see any of these people to be their peers.

Nope. All of these people feel the same status anxiety.

The "elite" with billions of dollars feel like inadequate losers when they open a TikTok and see a hot poor prole girl doing a cute dance

Maybe the OP wasn't so basic after all. People still do not understand status - mostly because they are coping! It's real, and you can't escape it!

All of these elites have a guy who can get them a younger, hotter girl whenever they want. In some cases, that girl is the actual girl you see on Tiktok.

Lower upper class and UMC are rich enough that they can get hot chicks pretty much on demand. They don't have a guy that handles it for them, but they can get what everyone thinks is a fairly expensive escort that is hot.

Below that it gets dicey. But regardless, the idea that humanity is somehow remotely egalitarian is lol.

Growing up UMC and watching UMC'ers, especially the nouveau riche, flail around trying to one-up each other as if they'd even scratch the truly higher tiers. It's a substantial part of why I swore myself to academic poverty as a kid.

when I turned 40, I looked around and ask myself, why. why am i doing this, why am i trying to live up to my parents expectations, why am i trying to be my parents, why am i trying to make my grandparents happy by striving and hating every minute of my life. it was then that I invested all my money, quit job, sold all my shit and started traveling around the world while being careful to stay the living fuck away from India. And I never looked back. and I never stepped foot in India. And im going to Finland next and might move there for a while and I can honestly say, I am finally happy. hth
