Some of us are exhausted of the status games of meatspace life and just want to dissect ideas.
No one forces you to play status games. If you don't care, you don't care so just dissect ideas and ignore the rest.
LessWrong was talking about other people being too concerned with their image. If you don't have this problem, well, there is no problem, is there?
You can choose groups with different status indicators and different ways of measuring reputation, but you probably can't find any human communication (and I'd argue this applies intra-personally as well as inter-; you're dealing with past-you and constraining future-you RIGHT NOW) that doesn't involve status, power, and image.
