If he'd done the status-quo thing and stuck to approved-activities it would've been emotionally easier.

Yes. That's what the status quo is, and how it works. More, there's are multiple levels to the reasons for its existence, and the implicit suggestion that sticking to the status quo would be a tragedy neglect those reasons in favor of romantic notions of fixing the world.

Call me a helpless romantic, but LessWrong is supposed to have a better status quo.

Yeah, totally agreed. The point of LessWrong, to me at least, is to improve the status quo, and keep improving.
