Do poor people hate rich people?
“Politics of envy” is one of those explanations we hear so often it barely sounds like a theory anymore when it comes to inequality.
So I looked at what the experiments actually say.

Thanks David!
Thanks for the share!
"research into fairness, inequality, wealth & social class can tell us about where resentment really comes from, why rich & poor people can see the same world so differently, & what happens when some voices are much easier to hear than others"

Thanks mate!
Ever feel like nothing is ever going to change?
I do too.
But there's some fascinating research into how social change actually spreads and why a small group of people can sometimes have a much bigger impact than anyone expects.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks!
Thanks Tim!

Thanks Sara!
Thanks, Alan!
Jurassic Park isn't really a film about dinosaurs.
It's about what happens when humans get very good at building something before getting very good at thinking about the consequences.
That feels uncomfortably relevant to AI.
Haha thanks Rick!
Thanks Ada!
