@sarahdoingthing No points about inheritance/inherited prestige?
@wrathofgnon good thought - what do you think? is it easier to inherit money or prestige?
@sarahdoingthing @wrathofgnon in a feudal society, definitely prestige? You could be "empoverished country nobility", but were still noble.
@AlexSchleber @wrathofgnon prestige can be just living up to your social role - lots of room for competition under manorialism
@sarahdoingthing I would agree (& it's the key reason I've been meaning to reply on Simmler's otherwise elegant theory/post, too elegant...)
@sarahdoingthing I think this is where the 2 subthreads reconverge: There are more dimensions (= archetypes / roles) in play.
@AlexSchleber it's a rather sweet dimension though - nuance follows abstraction
@sarahdoingthing it *feels* sweet/elegant, but I see a lot of problems, starting w/ fact that Hero needs more motivation than remote payoff
@AlexSchleber the payoff is encoded into the social system of connected brains - actors need not rationally calculate expected value
@AlexSchleber conscious minds are way too dumb for that ;)
@sarahdoingthing totally agree that conscious mind / rationality considerations aren't nearly powerful enough to sufficiently drive this
