How do you shelter and brainwash your kids so much that they're actually afraid of poor people? I knew these gated communities were bad but the quotes from residents sound like satire. They are unfortunately not satirical.

It seems like people's brains work on an 8-14 moth cycles of average floating stress ans happyness levels.
That is to say, that for someone in the upper middle class, they peobably haven't seen a real hardship in a timeframe their brain can work with. So when they see a homeless person it is the worst thing they can remember having happened to them. Thats their 10/10 for distress seeing another human.
Can you imagine such a cursed existence to be completely without perspective and reaningful relationship to the world?
That's an interesting idea. I feel like I bump into that thought every once in a while, but I've never fully investigated the idea of relative emotional impact. I know for a fact that my emotions don't work like others at least.
