We humans are obsessed with achievement, seemingly the measuring stick for a life well-lived.
Just as money represents the imaginary method of value exchange for products and services, so achievement is the social equivalent, acting as a proxy for individual worth.
Evolutionary precedents exist for such social calculus, whereby previous accomplishments are used to predict the future value of potential connections.
As an enabler for quick mental heuristics, it still works relatively well, allowing us to efficiently sort new contacts.
When we achieve, our network grows, a reward for increasing our cultural cache.
That’s why we’re so vocal about our accomplishments, using social media to disseminate our success far and wide.
