Kolmogorov complicity is not good enough. You don’t have to immediately prove all the ways you know how to be a good person to everyone, but you do need to actually know about them in order to do them. Unquestioning acceptance of hierarchical dynamics like status, group membership, ingroups, etc, can be extremely toxic. I continue to be unsure how to explain this usefully to this community, but it seems to me that the very concept of “raising your status” is a toxic bucket error, and needs to be broken into more parts.
