Signalling and status are useful tools, but if they can explain any behavior then they explain nothing. I want status, yes, of course, I'm human. But I also want to be loved. And I want the safety and stability that risk aversion brings.

I'm not in danger of confusing every bias with a terminal value. Falling for the conjunction fallacy doesn't seem to help me get anything I want.

But I am genuinely uncertain about where, whether, and how much my biases and values overlap.
