Status is contingent upon the audience in question, and the higher the status necessarily the smaller the audience.

The pedagogue risks the hemlock (or the Cross) should his present company grow too light, but in return that company continues to grow through the ages.

The demagogue takes refuge in the numerical strength of the mob, but will soon enough find himself friendless and forgotten.

Linker will have his reward. Don’t sell yourself short, bub.
