2 months agoI honestly wonder at a certain point the human brain switches back into a scarcity mindset once you hit the point beyond which the sums are fathomable anymore. For instance, for most of us, when we hear about 800c000 dollars, the brain goes “Hey, that’s a lot of money”, but I wonder if someone who has 8 million thinks at some level “whoa, I only have 8 of something—best be careful with it!!”
That sounds like a neat idea—here’s a wild thought, what would happen if we tried the same thing with passengers? Eh, you’re right, sounds positively un-American.
