Is income inequality even good measure in the forst place? More and more people of this world are rising out of poverty, and getting education, why specifically does uphieval would occur?
- kortilla 5y agoNo, it’s not a good measure, but it is a useful tool for people to build support for political upheaval that wouldn’t otherwise be justified.
- diordiderot 5y agoThe thing is, it's all relevant. You can't pretend human psychology doesn't exist
- raducu 5y agoMeasure of what? Income is a proxy for a lot of tings. While completely understandable and rational, people racing to get out of poverty at the same time as the great climate change catastrophe, feminism (sexes "wars"), all sorts of minority/ perpetual victims/ alternative motivation groups/attention wars -- I don't see how we'll navigate these centrifugal forces and chaos in a wise and beneficial way for the planet and for us on the long term.
