What a sad way to live life. Not only because it's untrue (assuming you don't live in North Korea), but it's incredibly dark and destructive.
- HWR_14 4mo agoThis does not answer the question that was asked (and which I also wonder): why would you want to signal that you are rich?
- bko 4mo agoFor attracting members of the opposite sex and wanting to connect with other people of similar wealth as their values and interests more closely correspond with your own. I don't know if you noticed, but there are cultural differences across socio-economic classes. Are you pretending not to understand?

- renegade-otter 4mo agoThe fact that you think it's "sad" is a dead giveaway in terms of what you value in life and what you consider a virtue.
- bko 4mo agoWhat do I value? I believe I live in a society where wealth is earned through hard work. It would be awful living in a society where I wrongly think everyone who has something I don't earned it through nefarious means, and there is no way to be an honest broker and create wealth.
