@teamcrumb I guess all I was wondering about/trying to say two years ago was that anxiety about social status seems to have existed since people exist and seems to depend a lot on the individual (some people have more and some less of it). People are less bound by social rules nowadays in big cities than they were in the past in smaller societies, but certainly everyone's still full of anxiety and fear of not being good enough, I guess.

Ugh, wherever human tilts its ugly head, religion isn't far to follow. I guess you could compare Christianism during feudalism to the dominant political ideology of the day.

The mindset behind dueling is very similar to the mindset behind a lot of foreign policy of govts.

status is dependent on being observed and admired by the 'other,' otherwise status has no worth.... it requires 'position' and how one is positioned in comparison to others. social status means nothing to me or at least i make that effort. i desire to live in a big house, in a nice neighborhood for its comfort and aesthetic value, but i shun others in my nighborhood and position myself to be shunned, all in the name of not living up to status. i'm attracted to ppl that step-on & step-over status

but is the anxiety really worse? I think of the villages a century ago, back then the "status" or "pride" of an individual in the small society was really really important - maybe much more than now that everyone can "do what they want"
