As you're already aware of the value and reliability of citing pop-sci and tabloid sources, I won't highlight it except to point out that even if the data holds (a big if), correlation does not equal causation.
And thank you for confirming my suspicion that your argument was more projection than reality.
> Would I become more of an asshole if I had orders of magnitude more money than the average person? It certainly wouldn't surprise me. At the very least, my ego would get quite inflated.
- archagon 3y agoCorrelation or causation makes no difference here. Regardless of whether you become an asshole by being rich, get rich by being an asshole, or become an asshole for separate wealth-correlated reasons, you will still be more likely to do things like park illegaly, and also have the means to treat any fixed-rate fine as a mosquito bite.
