These will largely follow economic means as well. “Solve the problems of the rich!” is a common refrain for BuilderBros - meaning “help the rich jump the line…” which just hastens socio-economic divides.

This is an aside - but in so many ways, only a healthy (disease free b/c of vaccines) society allows for this kind of reckless behavior. It is like a stored wealth that anti-vaxxers get to exploit only because it exists. In short - it’s a type of the socialism they rail against.

There is a distinct feeling in the pit of my stomach when I join a group solving a problem and realize no one is curious. Everyone is too self concerned to explore, and be wrong 867 times so we can be right - like really, really right - on try 868. Personally, there is nothing I enjoy more.
