Seems like status games would be a category that covers activities past which basic needs are met. That’s probably too broad, but (if not) activities beyond basic needs should be core to progress, so important for society
More concretely, legacy seems like a status game so philanthropists are probably good bet. Hard to know on net of course. And I love convos with Tyler so he’s undoubtably right but depends on what kind of status “goods” we’re taking about. Great question
