This actually makes perfect sense. It's actually better to be at the extremes in life than in the lower-tier part of the middle (LTN). If you can't be superior (Chad), or HTN, then the next best thing is to be giga-subhuman or very inferior. It's the EXTREMES that get noticed and are more likely to become famous (status maxing). This also applies to disabilty. It's much better to be borderline retarded than just almost borderline retarded (IQ of 85 to 90). The former can get qualified for disability, and spend their summers riding a bike and getting high while watching cartoons, while the latter will still have to work hard their whole life at whatever dead end shit job being a menial laborer.
