Get the StatUps mug.A mildly mocking synonym for the United States. It originated in the song “Another Pleasant Valley Sunday” written, in 1967, by American song writing duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song, recorded by American group the Monkees, highlights an obsession that Goffin and King thought was common to many Americans namely to increase their status. To have a bigger house, a better car, more televisions, more of everything than anyone else to show how “important” they are. They don’t actually need all this stuff, they just want them as status symbols.
Now before anyone gets pissed off and rejects this definition, think about it; the phenomenon may be more widespread and common than people think, why do so many people try to get a definition on Urban Dictionary? Is it to include a new definition, or a variant of an existing definition to increase the useful content of Urban Dictionary, or is it to give them something to boast about to their friends, a status symbol?
Incidentally, if you think Goffin and King were being too general about Americans and status symbols consider the group that recorded the song, the Monkees. They were manufactured by the American music industry in an attempt to rival the Beatles, so were the Monkees musicians or an attempt at a status symbol?

The epistemic status is a short disclaimer at the top of a post that explains how confident the author is in the contents of the post, how much reputation the author is willing to stake on it, what sorts of tests the thesis has passed.
It should give a reader a sense of how seriously they should take the post.

It had "Epistemic Status: Wild off-the-cuff speculation" so I didn't bother to read it. It seemed entertaining, just didn't have time.
He said "Epistemic Status: Would bet at 30:1 odds in favour of the thesis and I probably one of the top 100 theorists in the intersection of the relevant fields" but it still seemed completely insane to me. Heads better roll if/when it turns out to be wrong. Like, I mean it, he should lose all of his social capital. People should stop reading his blog and his eigenkarma should be reset (If he's somehow right though I will be very impressed)
