@vgr @interfluidity Isn't the zero point a bit arbitrary? Like other coordinate systems, more a matter of definition than inherent property.

@paulbaumgart@interfluidity Maybe. Maybe right way to understand threshold is positive *unconstrained* right (unlike other entitlements) - Show replies

@pmarca@interfluidity@vgr FWIW, there's a natural constraint in the system: the zero-sum nature of social status. -
@paulbaumgart@pmarca@vgr social status mb zero-sum, but the stakes of the game change dranatically. dumb to let ZSGs take center stage. - Show replies

@pmarca@interfluidity@vgr The history of civilization can be viewed as a progressive decoupling between survival and social status. -
@paulbaumgart@pmarca@vgr only the rich think it's mostly about social status. to the not rich, it's a about precarity. - Show replies
