You Will Never Be Satisfied Imagine you’re one of our hunter gatherer ancestors.

I wonder if this is short-circuiting our hedonic treadmill. There’s a mistake often made that getting or giving us whatever we want will finally satisfy us. It’s the reaching we want. Once we get the shiny thing, we’re bored. Effortlessness is boring.

Economists calculate monetary inequality. Beyond subsistence, money is mostly a proxy for status, humans obsess over status (even if doing so by demonstrating they "don't" obsess over it), so *visibility* of money is important for status inequality.
