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)

1. A term coined by Kanye West, whereby one can signify that they have reached such a large audience of followers that their concerts can command enough people so as to fill an entire stadium.
2. That number-one spot; to be the most important and talked-about.
3. "People are going for that number-one spot, going for that moment: to be the most important and most talked-about. I call it stadium status. Do we have that copyrighted? That's what my album is: stadium status."
-Kanye West, Rolling Stone Magazine (2007)
With "Graduation" Kanye says he has definitely achieved Stadium Status.
A Mexican Mafia euphemism for being targeted for removal.

A person who is always looking to improve their social standing beyond what is reasonable or fitting by acquiring more desirable possessions, taking extravagant vacations, joining exclusive organizations and cultivating new and advantageous social connections in order to impress others.
His vacationing on the Costa del Sol shows what a status seeker he has become.
Being superficial status seekers, they are thinking of buying a new McMansion, even though they don't plan on having a family and already own a house that suits their needs in all respects.
A status where the person writes a philosophical entry about life, love or friendship. Often, the status is very general and its main aim is to create deep impact on the reader, or just for the likes.
Guy1: Hey man! Come read this!
Status: "Life isn't supposed to be easy. Sometimes you can give it all but it's not enough and it ends up just falling apart. But never give up. I'd rather have something worth fighting for than to watch it fall apart. Only through our bad experiences we become stronger."
Guy2: Oh, that's just another Allister status. Bullshitting away. Hoping people think they're deep and shit. Want to get a burger?
The point of being really below average at MechAssault.
If I played in Dr Falcon & Joofer's room all the time, I would never make it past Gargle status! NA MEAN!
