Ok. Now I'm seriously depressed.
I think I will head to this [1] again to celebrate our insignificance in the whole scheme. Due to the very likely assumption that the thing that contains the universe (and also is the universe) is not bound to time and quantum effects lead to every possible reality (because it has infinity at its disposal) this is just one of those reincarnations where the human nature gets in the way of social equality.

- xapata 8y agoI'm certain that the phenomenon of a widespread middle class is bizarre in the grand scheme of things. Exponential functions don't generally have a bulge in the middle of the curve. We had one for a few decades and may yet again for another few. In the long run, it's quite unlikely that capitalism can sustain an exponential curve of wealth yet have a bulge in the "middle class" section.
