Minimum Viable Prestige: the minimum educational, professional, or social 'brand' value needed to satisfy your ego needs, freeing you to focus on self-actualization needs. For some it's 0, for others it's infinite. This idea came to me today while in the epicenter of academia.

As others have rightly added, there’s a dependence on both intrinsic (e.g. personality) & extrinsic factors (e.g. family, community). The factors and the balance of them certainly changes throughout life. Offhand, I’d expect extrinsic factors to be strong early and weaker later.

Makes sense! I'm interested in understanding those who skip status and go straight to self-actualization early on. If we can teach ppl how to "shortcut".. much money/time can be saved and more impactful companies started? Or does self-actualization need status as a prerequisite?
