Show Notes

"People tend to favor proposals that would benefit themselves and reject proposals that, at their own expense, would benefit others. If you were wealthy, you’d probably reject calls for higher taxes and more welfare programs. If you were poor, you’d probably call for higher taxes and more welfare programs. I don’t just mean that the currently wealthy tend to endorse proposals thought to benefit the wealthy and that the currently poor tend to endorse proposals thought to benefit the poor. I mean something stronger — even the actual, presently poor would likely endorse proposals thought to benefit the wealthy if they had been wealthy. And even the wealthy would likely endorse proposals thought to benefit the poor if they had been poor. " - Craig Warmke How does one remove their biases and personal benefits or consequences from weighing the value of world with, or a world without Bitcoin?
