most ppl wildly overestimate what money actually buys after a certain point. the real advantage of abundant capital is mostly psychological. yes, yachts & private jets exist. no, most billionaires aren’t joyriding them daily like it’s gta. novelty decays fast. hedonic treadmill stays undefeated. on actual access, the world is getting more equal over time. a billionaire uses the same iphone. drinks the same diet coke. eats broadly the same food. uses the same ai tools. injects the same glp-1s. uses the same software stack. & the same internet. the day to day gap that actually matters keeps shrinking. wealth today mostly buys optionality, time, & reduced anxiety. it does not necessarily buy some secret parallel reality with god tier products the middle class cannot access. the real work is just continuing to build initially expensive shit & push it downstream. scale beats status. & accessibility beats excess.
