Of course it does. I've seen this video in the past and I recall a few points, but you don't need a lab research to know that the more money you get the less empathetic you get. Th poor help each other. The rich help themselves. They have more self confidence and less compassion. It's nature. Just like wolves. The strongest eats first.

Yeah go to any rich area of a city, and any poor area of a city. Turns out, money actually can buy happiness.


The happiest, most giving people i've ever met were rich as fuck, and the most selfish and degenerate people i've ever met were poor as fuck.

Yes. Absolutely. I'm watching the video now and haven't seen the whole thing yet, but there are several studies where this phenomenon has been observed. The Monopoly study being one of them.

Have you noticed that drivers in rich areas are much more likely to be aggressive assholes? They're much more likely to cut you off, to blare the horn, to be impatient, and do jackass maneuvers. Even the way they drive is more self-entitled and arrogant. It's all about "everybody get out of MY way!"

Lots of money, power, and status inflates one's ego. Ego can go to your head and make you believe you are superior to others.

When you have too much money, you start to value everything, even other humans, as commodities that can be bought and sold. Loss of money, power, and status, these are the things that humbles somebody and makes them modest.

Speaking of money, even monkeys also feel a concept of fairness and equality:

Really? I've found that poor people are often far more generous. I've noticed rich people can sometimes be stingy tippers, often taking out their calculators to tip exactly 15%, while those who are less fortunate often round up and give extra.

In fact this experiment was performed where somebody dressed up as a bum in Beverly Hills vs Long Beach, and he received much more money in Long Beach.

Bunch of bullshit. One of my closest friends is from a wealthy and very powerful family. I lived with her for several years and she was the most down to earth, humble, and generous people that I have ever known. It's the person that matters and not the superficial attributes.

It is a stereotype that rich people or money make you mean and it would be just as valid to have a ted talk on how terrible asians are at driving, how black men are violent thugs, how mexicans are rapists, and muslims want to blow themselves up. But TED won't do that because they are consumed with rich white liberal guilt.

I agree, becoming rich doesnt make you mean. But i do think you have people out there that are power hungry. They want wealth, expensive cars, women etc./extremely materialistic.

And when these types of people acquire great wealth they lose something they used to have when they were at the bottom, humility. But many people do stay humble. Its no secret money distorts people's thinking
