**timdaub.eth**: This is super good! Thanks for sharing rvolz! I already knew about the Girardian status game of prestige and memetic desire, but this video does a far better job of unbundling many of these ideas. Really great resource for understanding how society works!

**rvolz.eth**: The status economy is an aspect of Shapiro's thesis about Post Labour Economics (or Post AGI Economics), see this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD5GlCIS0sA if interested.

The status economy came up with web2, but with crypto/web3 it got revived and presumably will stay important. But it's only one of the aspects, another one (for example) is healthcare, which - interestingly - translates to a topic that is dear to Farcasters https://warpcast.com/~/channel/longevity
