and you wake up every morning thinking that you're not a millionaire, that's not going to help you move the next step ahead of where you are now, right? And so you will care not about people who are much poorer than you or people who are much...

less successful and you're much more successful you typically care about people around you and that's this interesting stuff that we care a lot about the people who are just like us being a step ahead of us and the people who are very far ahead we don't even care too much about them

Yeah, well, I'm with you. Like I'm super fascinated in it. I think what's interesting is like, What's fascinated me is how kind of key happiness and these questions we ask ourselves are central to our lives. And in a way, how we are... we don't really know, you know, we don't have the intuitions.

So evolution is this kind of programming process which has designed us to work well in the real world. But evolution didn't care about telling us the rule book. It tells, you know, they gave us, evolution gave us the design but didn't explain why we're doing what we do. And so we're like following the path that our feelings lead us to.

But why we have these feelings and why they have the shape they have and, you know, that we don't have the intuitions necessarily. So that's why, When we start thinking about, oh, what will make me happy, why I'm not happy, et cetera, et cetera, it's actually not trivial because evolution in a way doesn't care. To make us successful, we don't need to know why we have these feelings.

It sounds, you know, when you say that, it sounds like maybe some people on the left would say, well, you're saying that people who are from a lower social background are privileged or that people from a higher social background are disadvantaged.
