@KevinSimler what do you make of individuals who don't like the prestige their actions bring (like an anonymous donor)?
@TimothyChutes First I think it's a pretty negligible behavior. <1% of donors are "anonymous," and even then they're often known to friends

@TimothyChutes But it does happen. My guess is that some people are just extremely sheepish about prestige-seeking, b/c it's mildly taboo. -
@KevinSimler of course I was secretly asking about myself. I've always disliked it. But I can see the psychological strings in myself.

@KevinSimler@TimothyChutes Donor recognition is often ham-handed— getting your name on a building feels like asserting dominance to me. -
@ctbeiser@TimothyChutes I feel that too. Technically it's still prestige, I think, but it's the kind of move that can presage dominance. - 3 more replies
