    Forgive me if I misunderstood what you wrote, but pretending to be something you are not in public just to reap the benefits of said social status seems excruciatingly exhausting to me. I think “better” in this context is very subjective to what you value in life.

      More influential. More a part of the larger apparatus. Similar to the idea of social darwinism, I removed myself from the equation so my ideas will not propagate.
