"This is the peak of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs."
As recognized by recent literature, Maslow's needs actually don't have a hierarchy - while each segment is important, and is helpful in analyzing human condition, there is no universal absolute ordering for them. Hungry people may perform art, for instance.
It's so freaking incredible. Everybody is greedy, and a lot of people (a subset of the "everybody") are using their greed to scam them.
Yeah yeah blockchain, fiat is going to die, inflation, blah blah, you can find your justifications, but it's just greed, in my opinionated opinion.
I wonder how much of it is also influenced by the super-rich flaunting their stuff on social media, and reality TV. Apparently Bhutan was very happy before TV was legalized (in 1999), and TV changed things, they saw how the others lived and in short their society got infected with that hedonistic/capitalistic greed.
