I'm not convinced that saying "I'm capable of X, and I've done Y" in
response to "you cann't do anything and have never done anything" is
about status. Opening a conversation like that, sure. But giving it as
factual information in response to a challenge is pretty much all you
can do other than accept the original claim.

It *is* about status. It is perfectly understandable to react this way,
as I noted in the post to which you responded. But it is not consistent
with someone claiming to be totally unmotivated by "status" (or, in the
vernacular, "what other people think [of me]")

As EGN notes in his next post, every human being (with exceptions so few
as to be statistically invisible) is motivated by status. It is the
human condition.
