Oh okay, so you shouldn't mind if I send a rich guy into the vacuum of space unprotected then, if ones circumstances mean nothing.

Surely he could entrepreneur himself some oxygen while he's out there. Why would he need to be on Earth with breathable air? After all, personal choices are all that matter, right? So he should be able to succeed in any environment.

    This is probably half true for rich people who are genuine sociopaths. There was a reality show that did this experiment essentially, and all the millionaires just lied and essentially stole money from people lol.

      And this behavior is held up as the admirable gold standard of human virtue, rather than what it actually is, a symptom of a mental illness.

        If anything sociopaths and compulsive liars succeeding is evidence contrary to the claim that this is human nature. If it were people would be less trusting and sociopaths would have a more difficult time lol
