"man is a social animal" sounds all fluffy bunnies but what it means is that there are deep structures in your brain that try to kill you if your perception of your social status is too low. in Dunbar-number-sized social groups most people could clear this bar. most now can't

This was the central plot point of a chapter or two of /Friendship is Optimal/. The incentive structure at hand meant that the 'fakes' probably have internal experiences, but it's that the main character needs a romantic partner that's dumber than him that shows faults.

other ways out: --just hack the damn thing out --science might be unbounded (math probably is), so there's unbounded room for fractal status; any domain where status=copyable progress should work --merge into one mind

I believe the Sky Crawlers universe is a physical version of this. Mostly at peace w/ contained violence enacted by genetically engineered "kildren" who do not age or get sick. Their only purpose in life is to kill & be killed. https://youtu.be/7r82n7mmYas https://youtu.be/10wV05aNu9o

Interesting, but doesn't seem to address the issue of personal status for the masses

I need to explore the universe more. Probably will read the book. It seems to me that status is mostly assigned. The kildren are clones with implanted memories. The masses watch their wars because they have nothing better to do.
