This post is so I can start collating a few links on the topic of the evil known as social status. (I will do a similar post on the evil known as gossip, if I get the energy.)
From the Internet etc:
“Unstatus: How to Stop Playing a Game You Don’t Want to Win” https://www.joanwestenberg.com/unstatus-how-to-stop-playing-a-game-you-dont-want-to-win/ “A
backlash is taking shape against the traditional markers of success and
social position. I call it "Unstatus" – the deliberate rejection of
conventional status symbols in favour of something more elusive, more
authentic, and (perhaps) more suited to our complex modern psyche.”
“I had another realisation about the social hierarchy thing, it's kinda blowing my mind 🤯” https://youtu.be/HEPntUjL6tI
“The Psychology of Social Status” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-psychology-of-social/ “How the pursuit of status can lead to aggressive and self-defeating behavior”
“social status (society)” Encyclopaedia Britannica https://www.britannica.com/topic/social-status
“Social status” Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_status&oldid=1242495109
“Social Class and Social Status” Oxford Bibliographies https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199828340/obo-9780199828340-0085.xml
and
“Even in Australia, alarming levels of caste discrimination exist. We must fight it with evidence” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/commentisfree/2024/oct/30/even-in-australia-alarming-levels-of-caste-discrimination-exists-we-must-fight-it-with-evidence “Recognising caste oppression’s presence in our country’s south Asian diaspora is the first step towards stamping it out” This is recognisably wrong, and, in my opinion, is a more extreme version of the problem of social status, but still can be classified as - at least partly - being in that category
