totally - I also agree with alan watts that it’s not really possible to escape them as long as you’re alive

can the right drugs do this

I’ve never known of a drug that wasn’t embedded in like three layers of status games but maybe

If you don't talk to anyone can you play status games? Would like to try ascetic type thing for a bit. Not against status games, but it's would be cool to experience for a bit

But the most interesting is if we could see what would human interaction look like without status

there's no such thing

I agree, but this is a fun thought experiment Maybe there's a mammal somewhere down the chain that's sort of like us but didn't develop status do they travel in packs? do they coordinate?

I suspect status predates mammals
