This was interesting to me because the status-seeking behavior is so alien to me. Why people would want to belong to group after exclusive group is beyond me. They’re all granfaloons, anyway. A few good friends is enough, and status is only useful as a means to an end. I’m always prepared to burn status (as political capital) to achieve a greater good.

But it’s still interesting to think about those who chase status, and what their lives must be like.
