What’s up with billionaires and getting inside shit that is bound to implode?

Survivorship bias, and it’s fucking our society up in a lot of ways.

We’re built to ignore negative consequences if we never see them happen to anyone. So when society (for better or worse) prevents consequences, people think there’s no consequences and start acting like it.

Lots of people who are very wealthy in their home countries think they are insulated by their wealth from the consequences of what’s happening here. So they’re gonna show up expecting to be part of the in-group cuz they’re wealthy.
