I've set up an experimental Google Wave for this with Morendil. Eqygadget seems to be able to render Latex input in the Wave.

I can add people to the Wave so you can take a look. Just give your Wave account id here, on the #lesswrong IRC channel or mail it to rsaarelm at the Gmail.

My guess:

Status should be about gaining allies and mates, correct? Just as charity is about helping people.

Gaining more allies and mates (especially for a male) should be better than gaining fewer agreed? If so, why do maths professors spend so much time and effort trying to gain status in the small world of maths? They would be better off appealing to the lowest common denominator and using their intellect to wow people in something more accessible.

The quality of the allies also matters. Having allies that can't help you in your chosen goals is a drain on resources.
