I don’t get #65, why it is in the future tense? And what does it even mean?

65. You will prevent yourself from even having thoughts that could lower your status. Avoid blocking yourself off just so people keep thinking you’re cool.

There is an implied "inevitably" in there. Rephrased:

You will inevitably discard ideas that could lower your status. Be aware of this bias and don't box yourself in to try to maintain your status.
