Antonio García MartínezVerified account @antoniogmStudies show humans judge themselves by relative wealth, not absolute. They’d rather make $80k in a $70k world than $100k in a $150k one. What matters is the Radius of Envy around them, their cohort of comparison, not the infant mortality rate of 18th century English peasants.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

With social media extending your Radius of Envy out to every celebrity, and forcing even co-equal members of your cohort into self-promotional envy-production overdrive, comparisons to historical peasants or the advances of the Asian working class, will mean very little.
