What are those assumptions?

  That rich people are different than other people.

    I appreciate others success. I generally really like Graham's essays. I don't believe wealthy people are different, just under extraordinary circumstances. Here are some assumptions I'm holding: - I don't believe the wealthy have any secrets on virtue that anyone else doesn't. - I believe power messes with people's sense of reality. - I believe we're poor judges of our own intentions. - I believe we tend to more generously assign intent to the wealthy. - I believe success can give us false confidence in unrelated disciplines. - I believe generosity is a form of communication for the wealthy. - I don't believe the wealthy often become poor from their generosity. - I believe wealth inequity is the third worst problem facing the world today.

      if that is the 3rd worst problem, I guess life is pretty darn easy
