I increasingly find it more useful into “middle class” in terms of work than standard of living
Lower class = below the API
Middle class = lower half of above-API work
Upper class = top half of above API work
Leisure class = non-working halo around middle and upper

Most useful agency is now middle class
Upper class has only one mode of weakening agency: investing
Lower class is trapped in gamified mazes they can’t escape that take up all their time/attention/energy
Middle class has all the inflation resistant skill capital

Think about it this way: if you are 24 and have solid ML programming skills you’re in a much better position than someone with no aptitude for anything above burger-flipping skill, but with (say) $2m.

What's your view on leisure class flex? i.e. doing both middle and upper class but not as well, combined with large amount of slack
