A viral clip of @npub1n5r9...0ngn suggests that life has never been more equal. Yes and no. Because status is artificial and algorithmic. It’s agenda-driven and gatekept. And it continues to propagate the ideas, values, and people who are in “the big club”. Which I suppose is an equal-opportunity, if you consider selling your soul to the devil a level playing field.

I feel Conflicted On one hand his message is not bad. Status is kind of an win lose cut throat and evil game. He is right that building wealth on a win win foundation would be a much better aim On the other hand these guys are myopic at a minimum if not morally dubious. They’ll look you in the face as they get rich off a shitcoin casino they have partial ownership in and not acknowledge that is a win lose game and one of the worst kinds. Taking advantage of people that do not fully understand what they’re consenting to while pretending the victim “wanted this”. Pedophile adjacent thinking

Yea it leaves out the fact that a lot of wealth has to do with status these days From peoples willingness to do a deal with you based on a halo effect To the attention economy itself Status can be a soft prerequisite for wealth for many avenues. Even things like tech where you’d think it’s a full meritocracy
