if the things that status are getting you are satisficing and not maximizing this doesn’t matter much. E.g. if Sotala is getting his needs met from the communities he is a part of Musk is not relevant.
That’s true only if everyone could reach this theoretical threshold of status that will make them happy, but it’s not clear that this is the case.
e.g. if you’re the best accordion player in your village it might not be enough if no one really cares about accordion skills—global status is important.
