What if the fear is real though - fear of survival - how is that a problem in itself? With Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - if base needs are met the envy-jealous

What if the fear is real though - fear of survival - how is that a problem in itself? With Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - if base needs are met the envy-jealousy-anger will turn into inspiration, as one example.
To copy/paste what my other reply said:
And this ties into a problem that Eric Weinstein is trying to bring attention to that the whole of society importing talent/allowing them to tap into the network and stability should be getting a dividend from that talent's produce, along with the misunderstanding that it's technology and automation taking jobs away. The main part of the solution is UBI - or as Andrew Yang calls it, a Freedom Dividend - citizens as shareholders.
- jollofricepeas 6y agoThat’s a rather simplistic view. For one, your base needs might be food and shelter but within Average Joe’s social circle his base needs may be... - Ford F-150 - Cable TV - Time for hobbies - NASCAR tickets UBI doesn’t solve for people’s need to be superior. Solution: Cap executive pay and return more shareholder value/wealth to employees. You’re not going to achieve equality but you can make sure that more wealth is returned to society while preserving their need for superiority. “The bottom 80% of Americans own 8% of stock market wealth and the bottom half own essentially zero.” - Andrew Yang

Otherwise there is a path to healing old trauma to undo such ego mind coping mechanisms.
