How I interpreted the grandparent comment is that status doesn't matter because we all die. My implied counterpoint is that it makes no sense to focus on what we will be after death (similar piles of bones). Rather, we should focus on having the nicest life now that we can still experience it. And I tried to imply the point that someone with high status probably enjoys a nicer life than someone of low status. Yes, we all die. No, nothing we do will matter a few thousand years later. Should we just immediately give up then to skip to the inevitable? If so, why haven't you killed yourself already?
