  1. Human biodiversity (HBD):
    • Differences between races.
    • Differences between men and women.
    • Biological/evolutionary basis for behavior.
  2. Value transference. … [In] a post-scarcity economy, the majority of work is value transference work, work that doesn’t create any value but just transfers the value created by others.
  3. Relative wants. …This is also related to our desire for status.
  4. Religion and groupthink. … [Religion is] “A cultural system of beliefs, behaviors, practices, ethics and societal organization that relate humanity to an order of existence.” Groupthink is the tendency for people to believe whatever other people believe.
