fascinating article in n study actually add that that came out and psychological science
uh...
and it's about uh... bull
different and levels of empathy that the poor and the rich uh... half
and it turns out
the rich have less empathy
but middle class in the poor
that's the conclusion of the study is just one study i'm actually quite surprised by
it to be honest with you
but the way they showed it was
and this is a very common things like ology
addy
you judge envied by can you tell facial expressions so it will show you a bunch of pictures and
can you repeat cubes so abuse like i've said is like a happy
and over silicon in up better care i'm rich
but just let out a way that is exactly being in a very very emissary rapidity they didn't
think that the day
but he did significantly worse
then than the other classes
who were much better thing up a social cues you know n every study i like finding at
their reason
for that doesn't mean that that results are wrong doesn't mean the rich people or not
insensitive but there's always uh... there's always part of the study that tells you
why it's this way
that we learned you know all almost always in
in certain studies where we learn about one group or another way
it's because there was a there was money in an opportunity to do something
uh... among lock in that but frequently that will influence
other study doesn't mean you should expat uh... ignored
but the wealthy did says you don't need to rely on others for help
so they're people skills have atrophied so literally they encounter fewer people
then middle class and poor people
who everyday have to encounter other regular people
the rich have managed in many ways to live a life where they only encounter people like
themselves and about to ask for it
see that's i think the last part of it is very important because if this is the study
is true
because
the if you're struggling in you need other people's help
you need to be able to get social issues better
so that you couldn't figure out how to get that help whereas these guys eke according
to this right and this is just
and by the way you can should be clear this is the hypothesis
on why they don't do as well in picking up on right
on social cues
and says the rich in
are not as dependent on reading other people's social
cues and and dependent on other people because they already have their wealth
whether that's why they say that it yet still atrophy it and that's what it is i think it's
the occupation at more than a conscious effort that i need to be able to read somebody skills
if you interact with hundred people every day
you're gonna know more about human interaction human emotion then if you have will be your
personal shopping done for you
you know it's real quick jeff bridges was on the the jimmy kimmel show not that yes
it was the jimmy kimmel show i think on the uh...
on the uh... what the fuck program i said jimmy film but he was on jimmy kimmel and
that
and and camel asked him uh... you know made some lied about like you know do people bugging
somethings like when you're out
like that uh... you know you're out of art gallery of cheesecake factory you know was
funny man
bridges laughed and he laughed because
didn't go to the cheesecake factory
and i thought
you're missing something by not going to the
cheesecake factory as an example of
olive garden or anything
you're not going to a restaurant good or bad in interacting with people nearly as much
as the rest of us to
and their understand what difference does it but there's a cost of
it's what we're trying to really proper obama's uh... golfing partner one of them views
is one of the ceos or top banks in the world right and i'm sure that the other similar
now he can't bit golf with the plumber from west philly right but at the same time if
thats all you interact with that that has spent as bad consequences in the long run
in the long run yet and and so
loki
this is not the jd to judge the rich enough you know look uh... some of the rich people
in the world in we did the the story their last really yet you know there is other if
they were aware front
so my best friend the receivers
no seriously adam fifty one billion aristide being away half of their fortune ride obviously
enormous travel country should buy the rich stratus treat it you can't make gross generalizations
at at all if anything i would just look at the study is fifty if you do get have money
like peggy but i have a nice like this might happen so if you're a billionaire
goat cheese cake
