Venkatesh Rao@vgrThis sounds less like true wealth, more like an operationalized fuck-you to whoever you consider your out-group.Quote TweetCoach Anish@anishraju·Jan 5, 2017As always, @nntaleb stays ever relevant.

Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 5, 2017Replying to @alexqgbwhat's the difference? tribalists always justify their actions with 'they started it, they are the real tribalists'
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 5, 2017Replying to @alexqgbIf you're honestly happy while many are visibly unhappy, there is either sociopathy or a certain cluelessness to it1
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 5, 2017Replying to @alexqgbI happen to think that 'worthwhile purpose' is practically the sine qua non of both. It's the genesis construct for tribalism
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 5, 2017Replying to @alexqgbI think happiness as the frame is the problem, because research shows those are features of relationships, not individual lives
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 5, 2017Replying to @alexqgbso any talk in terms of happiness is necessarily social. The opposite (core of anti-tribalism) is striving http://amzn.to/2hW8ftP
