- llamataboot 6y agoNo, not at all. Read The Spirit Level and also a bunch of happiness psychology. Relative equality and perception of fairness matter quite a lot to humans.
- esyir 6y agoI'm fully aware of that. I also think it's something unfortunate that we have to figure out a way to route around. We should choose a system that gives one guy a billion dollars and everyone else a million, if the alternative is one that gives everyone 100k. This is an analogy for lifestyle, the actual implications of supply demand are being ignored here.
