Episode notes

I think it's a normal human thing to want prestige and status. But i do think it's worth while to kind of dis intermediate. Disintermediate tis is, like, separate outt from what stege seeking is. And pursuing your values in a way that if you do something well enough, you will make it prestigious. I think my current understanding is that people are encouraged to state that they have some ambitions.
