I've always questioned the significance of income inequality. What does it matter that, say, Musk owns a private jet if the busker on the street owns an iPhone?
This chat with Prof Sapolsky is great. He says, "Your subjective status is as good a predictor of your health as your objective one. It's not being poor, it's *feeling* poor."
This is why rich, unequal societies like America - and, to a lesser extent, Britain - have worse outcomes than equal countries.
