(As compared to what?) Only assuming that the benefits of living in a post-Singularity world are less valuable than making other people miserable, which strikes me as implausible. A middle-class person today likely has way better life than a king of 4000BC.
You're saying that you don't believe there are people for whom status is a value.
Not at all. I'm merely saying that status is not in total dominance of what people prefer.
Okay. You're saying that you don't believe there are people for whom status is a dominant value.
Yes. This would fall into the category of "people" who don't share a human universal balance of basic aspects of value, "people" who are magical mutants with complex motivations shaped primarily by something other than evolution (which won't allow large complex differences from the rest of the population).
