If your mind is in the 17th century and your body is enjoying 21st century material conditions you do not in fact have the same living standards.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1087396110849605640 …

What people are feeling *matters*. It’s the half of the story sociologists and psychologists try, however poorly, to actually get at directly, instead of declaring “the graphs all point the right way so we must be happy and prospering. If you don’t agree you’re just confused.”

This has been shown to be untrue in the developed world and will be in the developing world as well. I see the growing subterranean sociological tensions every time I visit India or any part of the developing world. All is NOT well.
