When I write a post the post will be different when it’s written to seeking truth then when it’s written to seek truth and seek justified status. While often both goals are alligned there are times when they are not aligned and one has to make a decision.
It’s even worse because given the way the human mind works those decisions are often made without thinking about them in favor of status as evolution primed us to seek status.
To not have your desire to seek status disturb your ability to hold accurate beliefs about the world it’s necessary to partly ignore status seeking impulses.
When thinking about writing a grant application it’s important to convey justified status. When writing an analysis of a topic it’s less important.
I think seeking status and pointing out you already have some are two different things. Writing an analysis, it would be quite relevant to mention what expertise or qualifications you have concerning the subject matter.
