Please. Money lies. We all know it. People with money are deferred to, emotionally coddled, and ALWAYS given the benefit of the doubt. It is literally the foundation of Western culture. Those who have always had it live in a very delusional world that has always lied to them about their abilities. That's how we end up with a " very stable genius" as the "leader" of the western world.
- imnotlost 7y agoBut the noble poor man (or the noble savage if we look to the past) never cheats, lies, steals, etc. And if they do it’s for survival or family or some other sympathetic cause. Or we’re all humans with normal human traits and egos to rationalize just about anything given the right circumstances.

- Data_Junkie 7y agoNobody said they didn't. Point was that people with "old" money who have always been of a higher social class than most believe falsley that they are better than they are, for the previously stated reasons. Yes, they are humans, and that's what happens to humans who are given too much. One of the many horrid things that happens to normal humans.
- strken 7y agoYeah, money lies. Overestimating your ability on a memory retention task might not be indicative that money lies, however.
- Data_Junkie 7y agoBut it might, hence the topic.
