Depends on the causal direction. Maybe their affinity for more expensive hobbies and related signaling makes them boring, but that came after whatever made them rich.

It could also be that you meet middle class people because they have similar interests to you, and rich people because they show up in high status contexts? Perhaps you should go to places where rich people more similar to you hang out?

Nope my convenience sample has entirely different biases. That would be true of people in a normal job/lifestyle.

How bout this: crossing cultural boundaries is interesting. Rich people don’t do it much.

It’s much more basic: lack of curiosity about things that don’t directly affect the goal. Again only applies to the large subset who got/stayed rich because they wanted to.

I’m very taken by the idea of “organic intellectuals” (Gramsci), as boundary-crossing folk who have a disproportionate effect on outcomes.

The rich people I know are deeper along a narrower set of life experiences. Money allows you to opt-out of as much of the BS of life as you can afford, leaving you time and space to explore whatever you feel isn’t BS.

Those that follow the arrows are both interesting and insufferable. They've made it and know it. They've earned the Ace they hold in any opinion fight, but in playing it they become un-relatable. I find those that voluntarily do undesirable things to be the most interesting.pic.twitter.com/utVvCYOdKX
