    Making the world worse for everybody just to make money. I don’t understand how people like this can live with themselves.

      Some people believe relative status is more important than absolute, so kicking others down is good.

        relative/absolute status

        Interesting idea. What’s absolute status then?

          I just stumbled upon the term and ran with it.
          The experience of deprivation: Does relative more than absolute status predict hostility?
          “the absolute level of how well‐off people are”, “objective resources”

          I guess when there’s pure relative change of status, absolute status is assumed to stay the same:

            the subjective experience of being worse off than others is a better predictor for hostility than is the absolute level of how well‐off people are.

            Oh, I get it now. Thanks.

      They probably get a lot of praise. People treat rich people like they are better and smarter people by default. How often i have heard: shhhh do you know how much money he makes? Okay i don’t get the correlation
