Are you of the opinion that people on this site, in their daily lives, are erring on the side of implementing too many high status moves?

No.

Or that the people you met in SF while at the mega-camp were doing this stuff too much (Michael Vassar and Eliezer aside)?

On average no. Some possible exceptions.

I agree that the optimum isn't either extreme, I think the nudging should be towards high status behavior.

Yes.

And does anything in the original post endorse the high status behaviors over the low status ones?

To precisely the extent that my reply to Will suggests that it does. (Um, no?)
