It’s interesting that this post is framed in terms of status. That seems more like an illustration of the flexibility of what “status” can mean than something essential to the main point of the post.
I could imagine pretty much the same point being made, with most of the same content, without referencing status at all (for a big success don’t just join the default competitive arena). Or it could instead be framed as how to be high status, where big success option is the high-status option (climbing the ordinary competitive ladder is upper-middle class at best, actual high status routes around that whole competition).
Within the compressed summary “Status Is The Game Of The Losers’ Bracket”, a lot of the post’s main content winds up within the particular way that the word “status” is being used here.
