I don't have access to original article and I wonder what's the point of making those points? I do not agree with those points but let's ignore that now. Let's say you are in that good position? What does it mean to recognize that you are fortunate? Should you be thankful to somebody? If yes how should you express that? Or should you simply enjoy the fact that you are fortunate because if not you someone else will be in your position? Or maybe not? How to measure how much fortune is in there?
- Gravityloss 13y agoIf we assume that one of the values of a society is to give chances to a middle class life even people who are born into poor families, then if you actually discover that it is not often possible, maybe you can change something that it becomes possible. You could do things like vote for politicians who drive for lowering the cost of education. From another angle: if you keep saying that "it's easy to become middle class even if you are poor", then the article has points that say it's actually not the case. The article also argues that rich people don't understand their advantageous position.
- daliusd 13y agoEducation is free in my country. Situation with university degree is slightly different but still you can get degree for free if you really want to. Maybe that's why I take things like that for granted. It shouldn't be easy to become middle class. Our planet can not sustain that with current technological level. But again "middle class" might mean different things for different people. As well I'm pretty sure that rich people understand what position they are in if we speak about sustainable assets.
