I try in general to avoid sending my brain signals which tell it that I am high-status, just in case that causes my brain to decide it is no longer necessary. In fact I try to avoid sending my brain signals which tell it that I have achieved acceptance in my tribe. When my brain begins thinking something that generates a sense of high status within the tribe, I stop thinking that thought.
This is shocking, insofar as many people, as far as I understand, actively do the opposite. I’m surprised I haven’t seen you mention this anywhere before.
I’ve explicitly trained myself to be aware of status feelings, so that I can take them as object, but I hadn’t thought to explicitly push against them. (I think this is a big deal for me, one way or the other.)
