re: #57 Dopamine Fish

Right, right, I forget, Prosperity Gospel and all that jazz. Never mind the numerous historical and even Biblical examples of people who had fabulous wealth and were not viewed as right with God.

In a completely just and equitable world in which everyone had equal chances of achieving economic success, then wealth could be seen as a measure of moral virtue.

But is just too tempting to blame the poor for being lazy and to accept a rich person’s money without questioning its provenance too closely…
