npub189nhq0cw33243htm08c53vjvgc5letv7d9sgqtgqsn6fnx6dv8zs0fsatx (npub189n…satx) npub17907cj76qt085ekrfn58zkk2p40xhwr4g43p26xgjwvh7yuchmssdm49f9 (npub1790…49f9) I believe the rich experience security not the way that normal people do - "Are my needs met?", but in a maladaptive way of "Am I winning?"

They seem to need reminders of how much money they COULD lose, or their wealth isn't worth anything to them. The feeling of being "special" and "chosen" to be in a wealthy group seems to be the motivation, not the money itself (which has to lose meaning pretty fast at those sums.) Therefore a "lower" class MUST exist for them to feel like they have anything at all. And the "lower" that class gets, the more money they feel like they have.
