A couple of videos for your StupidiVid Friday viewing pleasure, first up, a TedX talk from social psychologist Paul Piff on how people behave in a rigged Monopoly game where one person (determined by a coin toss) is clearly rich and has all the rules favoring them, and the other player doesn't. Here's a hint: lots of money turns people into complete jackasses with all the empathy of a hunk of volcanic pumice.
Second, a Bloomberg News piece on billionaire investor Sam Zell, on why the one percent is better than you are. Here's a hint: lots of money turns people into complete jackasses with all the empathy of a hunk of volcanic pumice.
The more money you have, the less empathy you have, period. Nothing new there, but it's worth reinforcing.
