- Bakary 4y agoTwo different ideas. In depth conversations about touchy subjects (in a broad sense) can happen in many contexts, and it's important to drop the halo effect around the wealthy. In this case, not even just the wealthy in general but also the specific type of wealthy person OP is alluding to. Based on their choice of words, my intuition also tells me that OP's definition of touchy inevitably has to do with shepherding the broader population in response to long-term trends. Which is basically the default mindset past a certain class, and not some revolutionary secret idea that people aren't discussing anymore.
