An interesting experiment on how our minds adapt to their social environment and roles. Rich people are (more likely to be) Assholes

I think it's more likely for assholes to become rich. As Honoré de Balzac observed:"Behind every great fortune lies a crime."

Yeah, the mind is incredibly short-term and your frame of equality is probably centered around yourself (i.e. everybody can get the same amount of wealth as I have if they work as hard has I do). It explains a lot about the differences in how men and women view the world.

I think the most important takeaway is that if you improve yourself, you will automatically behave more alpha. You will automatically stop being a doormat. Of course, if you get a lot of success, it is important not to get carried away and become delusional. You don't want to be like the hot girl who is completely clueless about how the world works until she hits the wall.

Rich men are more likely to be assholes because of all the "dues" they had to pay before they were rich. All the times they had to do things they didn't like and put up with attitudes they didn't like because they knew if they snapped, it would've been over for them.

But they didn't and now they can dish out payback.

Am rich and yes, I would just as soon piss in your hat.

Alfred, make this font extra large and bold. Then draw my evening bath.
