Although there's merit to the fact that people can be blinded by their wealth-bubbles to the point that they cannot adequately identify/assess solutions to address problems that seem obvious to the rest of society, to discount someone's views based on their wealth-bubble status is likely ultimately a recipe for division, grid-lock, and a more closed-off society. Perhaps it's more useful to try to evlauate an individual's ideas based on the merits of their feasbility and overall utility versus writing them off by default in order to achieve a more functional society for everyone?

- baix777 6y agoWhy should we listen to the ideas of a rich guy rather than an educator? How many times have have you seen an education expert on this site discussing these topics from a critical standpoint? The bigger issue is why to people want to listen to rich people rather than experts in the field? This reminds me the climate change where some people don't want to listen to the experts but instead want to listen so someone (or news organization) they already know.
