Episode 3167:

Explore the pitfalls of the pursuit for status with Louis Chew's enlightening piece from NoSidebar.com, where the tale of philosopher Denis Diderot illustrates the dangerous allure of materialism. Learn how a simple gift - a scarlet robe - spurred Diderot into a spiral of debt and dissatisfaction, serving as a cautionary tale for our modern consumption patterns.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nosidebar.com/pursuit-of-status/

Quotes to ponder:

"I was the absolute master of my old robe. I have become the slave of the new one."

"Humans evolved in small social groups in which image and status were all-important, not only for survival, but for attracting mates, impressing friends, and rearing children. Many products are signals first and material objects second. Our vast social-primate brains evolved to pursue one central social goal: to look good in the eyes of others."
