I know that lying is bad. And that’s a crucial point I think.

Status seeking behaviour has many justifications i.e. that it helps smoothen human interaction, to say the least. So why is it a turn-off for you?

It’s basically impossible to know what you need to talk about when explaining something without a conversation, because we don’t know each other’s knowledge base.

Okay, but in this case “status” was a basic word while the “it’s only a part” was something deeply specific to this conversation. It’s not fair to compare the two.

I feel that you’re 70% on the mark but then why is it a turn-off for you, as you said in your original message?

True.

The abused want freedom from abusers. The enslaved want freedom from the slavers. The poor want sustenance from the rich. The not-poor want greater quality in their life.

None of that is status seeking, unless you twist the meaning. It’s hurtful to call it that.

Good response. Though it was a bit wordy.

I know what status means, but I didn’t realise what status-seeking behaviour could be referring to, since it was vague. I know you tried to reduce your response to a level that everyone could understand, but that was unnecessary. People have the internet now.

For future reference you could try defining status in a single sentence, which allows people to look it up in a search engine or dictionary without room for confusion/vagueness.

I myself am essentially looking for status right now by explaining this to you

That’s not true. You’re taking one thought and extending it to try to interpret all of human society with. I’ve made the same mistake before. Of course, your original thought isn’t completely wrong, but you stretched it to almost irrelevant (but not unrelated) levels.

So yeah, once you understand this, you actually see status-seeking behavior everywhere.

No, I’m afraid I don’t. What you call status seeking can be called survival in some cases, enjoyment in some, and a waste of resources in some. Calling it status seeking is a misuse of the term and gross reduction of the behaviour’s quirks.

Perhaps a better term would be power-hungry person. But maybe that’s not the intent of your thought.

It makes me feel good to share my knowledge, which is why I do it. It feels good because demonstrating knowledge/intelligence raises my status.

That all may fall apart when you realise your knowledge is biased too much towards a single concept. Or too narrow minded.

I’m preeeetty sure that’s sarcasm

I was born decades after Hitler died and I hate him.

Wait, just saw the lifetime thing

Anyways you’d be surprised by the amount of people uncaring of American politics in India and china, or even supporting trump.

Wait, let them keep thinking it’s 2020

yeah, if I remember, they use something called libYUI which translates to a Qt application or TUI depending on requirements

At least it tells you remaining packages
