Status is a zero-sum game.It’s a very old game.We’ve been playing it since monkey tribes.It’s hierarchical.Who’s number one?Who’s number two?Who’s number three?And for number three to move to number two, number two has to move out of that slot.So, status is a zero-sum game.Politics is an example of a status game.Even sports are an example of a status game.To be the winner, there must be a loser.I don’t fundamentally love status games.They play an important role in our society, so we can figure out who’s in charge.But fundamentally, you play them because they’re a necessary evil.The problem is, to win at a status game, you have to put somebody else down.That’s why you should avoid status games in your life—they make you into an angry, combative person.You’re always fighting to put other people down, to put yourself and the people you like up.Status games are always going to exist.There’s no way around it, but realize most of the time, when you’re trying to create wealth and you’re getting attacked by someone else, they’re trying to increase their own status at your expense.They’re playing a different game.And it’s a worse game.It’s a zero-sum game instead of a positive-sum game.Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
