Can these people start wearing tags so I can stop interacting with them?
Parent comment is a move in a status game.
And so is public, self-aware meta-commentary.
"You are now playing my status game. If you decide not to play it, that's just you playing it badly." Yep today sounds like yesterday.
This comment is the exact reason I will weld the holodeck doors shut from the inside.

Translation:
"Can we find a way to lower the status of those people?"
I think there are already plenty enough ways of distinguishing extraverts from introverts.
Is the insinuation introvert = doesn't play status games?
If so, I object on the basis of the internet chat forum community comment sections.
I would bet that most people who take more interest in "the subtle ballet of [personal] interaction" than in "the minutia[e] of lifeless, non-agenty forces" don't think of the latter mainly in terms of complex status games. Intricate status games are probably just the most fascinating aspect of personal interaction from the perspective of that minority of people who find personal interaction relatively uninteresting to begin with.
I now understand better what RomeoStevens meant, though. I agree that it would be wise to watch out for abstract thinkers whose primary fascination is status games or Machiavellianism.
I know plenty of extroverts that I would not describe as playing status games.
