Your Brain Won't Let You See What Epstein Really Was - Barry's Economics

@smomotion.tv

The [correct] outrage at the content of the Epstein files is also an outrage at a system that created the conditions that enables it. Don't you forget it!

#BarrysEconomics is becoming my favorite explainer of why #inequality is such a problem & how it comes to be. #Wealthy people believe wrongly they deserve their wealth & station, so they stop using their #empathy & even become suspicious of it. They believe others deserve their #poverty.

There is an entire library's worth of research findings that the more power you feel you have, the less empathy you have.
