Status, I believe, is intrinsic to our very being it’s at the core of who we are. This quest for status isn’t a novel aspect of human behaviour—it’s a pursuit that predates our very existence as humans. This pursuit isn’t just a facet of our lives; it essentially narrates the story of human existence. The significance of status, of being esteemed and recognised in these respects, cannot be overstated—it’s profoundly and fundamentally important to us.
