If you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about, “attractiveness” was proven to be the single most correlated concept associated with “privilege” in studies of income inequality. It was orders of magnitude above gender, race, religion, sexuality, etc. This likely prompted researchers to say quietly to themselves “ah… well duh” after they crunched the numbers, but they of course did not include that in the papers I’ve come across citing these studies. On the flip side, personal 1/2
2/2 studies have found the more attractive a person is, the less likely they have an accurate mental map for the manner people treat one another when the disadvantaged party seemingly has nothing to offer. Plainly put, they often have warped views of reality. There are outliers in the data, but generally speaking, attractiveness is often professionally beneficial at the expense of an accurate view of the world.
Note: the only attribute combating attractiveness for the top spot on “privilege” is generational wealth, again regardless of race religion sexuality, etc. By deduction we can conclude a general trend, with the exception of outliers, that those with generational wealth, who are physically attractive, are the most likely to have extremely skewed views of reality.
Don’t let that make yall salty though. Having interacted with quite a few of these people, it’s compassion, not hate that brings them back to reality. It’s as if they have bred common sense out of their bloodlines and exist in a state of blissful ignorance. They are often a metaphorical ticking time bomb for disaster of all sorts, especially past the age of 27ish.
I mean yes and no. There have been several times historically just one foolish generation has “lost it all” and then some. Everything digital now can be hacked by quantum computers. AI is becoming dangerously close to being able to print cash almost completely indistinguishable from what the mint creates. I ask myself how many of these families have “real” assets that can’t be hacked? How many actually have the land/gold/silver whatever in a secure place it can’t be looted by meth-heads 1/2
2/2 or even their own private security if there’s a widespread devaluation or hack on major banks? I havnt come across any that have the martial skill to protect any of their own stuff. They always hire outside help to be the guard of that wealth. If it can’t be guarded, protected, do they even really control any of it anymore? For now perhaps but the future is looking bleak for what people thought was “secure” digitally/paper wise.
Insurance SAYS they will cover them.Just last week the silver certificate fraud hiked the price 10% overnight because a tiny portion of the masses realized there wasn’t enough actual silver to cover what was expiring. A certificate is not silver. Silver is silver. Can’t trade a silver certificate with whatever the future of AI is and asking it if it can make drones/machines with circuitry out of a “certificate that represents silver” I wonder what will happen when that tiny portion of 1/2
2/2 The masses grow to the majority of the middle class or even the boomers, and they start realizing none of the numbers add up… what are they going to insure the digital money with? Paper? I’m sure they will find an interim solution, but the ball is already rolling for that “reset”, it’s just poetically looking to be the opposite of what the ultra wealthy wanted.
