I Found An Interesting Article

'Luxury beliefs', a great concept in a great article explaining how our 'elites' (it really hurts to use that word with today's stupid wealthy and influential people) show off their status by means of moral superiority.

Insightful article. Makes me remember a saying that 'when a person has achieved wealth, it is significance that he craves'. Isn't it true? How better to do this than to embrace certain beliefs and have others emulate you?
