if one looks to the wiki, this exists, but it doesn't say how to acquire this fifth POSI status.
On another note, what's the point in advancing one's status?

Just don't tell people that it's definitely possible; it's fine if that's your interpretation, but it's irresponsible -- bad for both players and game -- to spread your interpretation as if it were an official statement.

I saw a lot of people agreeing with this in the original thread, so i thought everyone at this point considered it true.
Well, everyone, replace every "is" i said until now with a "might be"!

Likely 
I wonder how hard can it be... We have people who played for years, with everything maxed, heptagoat and even cider, and its not enough. That status is either something very difficult to discover, or something that requires YEARS of grinding

That's not him confirming it's live, believe me. Various people are at various stages of the Ambitions and it's not possible to complete those. At the very least, what it means is that Alexis knows which qualities / stories / forms of progress are required to unlock Paramount Presence, perhaps "eventually" but not necessarily now. It could still be in planning (like so many FL story threads).

I never quite understood why people interpreted "multiple people at various stages of Paramount Presence" as meaning it was possible to achieve in the game. Well I do understand, it's called grindalicious mystery-hunting fun and wishful thinking (of the sort that comes to bite tantalize-giddy developers in the rear end, ALEX)
It IS fun. But I would not tell any player that Paramount Presence is possible, that's pure speculation.
Actually, being at a certain stage in something does imply that the thing is obtainable. Otherwise it would be meaningless to even define "stages". Maybe the devs used the wrong expression, but if they knew what they said, it IS possible to be a PP

Scroll until you see the green part, they confirmed its live
I remember that old thread and I\ve never seen this as outright confirmation. That original thread was 90% about the mystery of the Passion destiny, with only side references to things such as the heptagoat and Paramount Presence.
Just the sentence "various people are at various stages of the Paramount Presence line" by itself, for me all it confirms is that *if* PP is available, a few people are on the right path.
That is: It's possible that to be PP you need to go through all 4 POSI specializations, and since the mechanism to change specialization isn't available yet, not one can achieve PP. This fits the sentiment of the message back then from Alexis, since IIRC that thread was not longer after the POSI specialization were first introduced.
Of course, I might be mistaken, and PP is readily available. Who knows, maybe all it takes is giving a heptagoat a drink of Cider? Maybe you need 10000 Connected for all factions. Maybe you need 7 of every item from the Bazaar.
The point is that the possibilities are literally endless. Without specific data, I'll use Occam's Razor and go with the simpler explanation that this is not yet in the game.
