I think empathy is a survival characteristic which allows people living in a difficult environment to help others and in return get help. Therefore it increases the chance of survival since by helping others we are more likely to get help.
As people get richer, they need less help from others and therefore are less likely to provide help too. And this new environment causes a reduction in their empathy.
Disagree. Some people are just compassionate and kind hearted. But yes, i think it comes from your background.
Its not for survival, to love is to want to understand...also life naturally helps us understand others emotions, life experiences
but this doesnt account for the poor people who are also narcissistic assholes, or wealthy people who are extremely generous with their money. looking at things purely through this materialist evolutionist lens of "survival" is very limited
That explanation makes a lot of sense.
If you realize we are all the same consciousness being kind to others is being kind to yourself.
I very much think it all depends on the country & culture & person. I’ve met super wealthy people that are really kind and serve their communities & others. I’ve met poor people who are selfish, ruthless and don’t care for others. I’ve also met the reverse. So it depends on upbringing, country, mindset, etc.
This is beautifully done. Compassion, then, must be a choice. CHOOSE IT.
Nice interview, it confirmed a lot of my hunches.
Also, nice job cutting to the angle of the back of the hosts head when asked a judgemental question "who do you think steals more rich/poor".
Maybe empathy is often , though not always, based in a fear that the bad thing you see could happen to YOU. As you do well financially, that fear reduces and so does your empathy?
Interesting thought you bring up 🤔💭
Very interesting video thanks for producing these :)
I like you you’re honest! I am not rich however is good to know that the rich aren’t there to help the poor.
Sadly there not. 😢😢
I read about another study, one which has been replicated at least several times, that revealed that rich people are worse at reading people's faces and thereby interpreting their emotions. That's because they don't have to. They can transgress more easily and often without facing consequences for it. Compare to a poor person, or one living in a bad neighborhood. They generally also have a boss rather than are the boss. Therefore not being able to read people's faces and intentions is perilous, as opposed to of no consequence.
Thank you for an interesting talk. I have bought the book on awe. But I fear this particular point was not well explored.
There may be a real correlation here, but (i) what is the effect size and (ii) what is the variance of compassion responses among rich and poor?
I suspect (i) small and (ii) large (the point that human behavioural characteristics tend to have high variance is made elsewhere in the same interview).
I.e. I suspect (i) rich people will be just a bit less compassionate on average and (ii) there will be loads of compassionate rich people and loads of uncaring less-rich people.
Power and money reveal the true character of an individual. Functions of empathy have some hard wiring and some don't make that connection.
It depends on the person, there have been rich people very compasionate like the King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Cyrus the Great, king Salomon, etc
I have no doubt that all this true, but on the other end of the spectrum extreme poverty in many cases brutalizes the character as well.
Brutalised poor people may negatively affect a few others....brutalised wealthy people have the potential to do far more damage to far more people. In the same way that a person who controls an army can do more harm than a person with a knife.
My ex was a multimillionaire tech entrepreneur and he struggled with empathy. & was the worst lover ever. Terrible in bed. However, he told me stories of being a kid at school and not understanding when kids were in a group laughing; he wasn't able to connect with it. So chicken or egg who knows. Really enjoyed how Dacher Keltner frames it. Nice short clip too. Not too long
He lacked functional empathy. Not necessarily because of wealth, more because of likely childhood trauma
Many psychopaths and narcissists become CEO's because they are ideally suited
So what happened to your ex husband
@@Dorythefish13 That's exactly right and I've known many people over the years, including my late parents, who didn't have much money, yet lacked empathy and compassion due to their unhealed childhood trauma issues. 😥
"arseholes go further" it's pretty tragic and sadly true.
Go further? After this video you still see it progressing and success.?
It all sounds very depressing and a little pathetic. The path to success is gaining happiness through the joy you give to others. I think progress is improving your self awareness of others and making life as simple as possible. I can think of nothing worse than, chasing that endless desire for things, material wealth leads in the end is emptiness.
When a person is rich, they are affluent, which means they have more privileges than the average person. They are treated with more consideration and respect. It makes them believe they are better. Rich people aren't generous with their time. A person has to be selfish to become rich. Ordinary people are taught being selfish is bad and so they view being selfish in that way. I could author a book on all the ways that separate the rich from the broke.
Brilliantly articulated👍🏾
This is correct 👍
I get what you mean selfish can mean just putting time into your bussiness or just not wasting money to see friends all that money adds up !
Wealth makes you bored. Your basic survival is ensured - your health, to an extent is ensured - if you have family, you don't care - only making more money and creating more wealth gives you any buzz or reason to live! 😄
its true but at the same its absolutely manageable if one practices good deeds and self decipline...
Yes
The greed will ultimately bring down their dynasty. Like it brings down every dynasty. ‘He who controls the money, controls the world’ - Henry Kissinger
The suffering is coming..
We are all being lined up for it, and it's coming..
If we consider what's happening in Turkey/Syria, we will see that the privileged will simply fly to one of their homes elsewhere while the poor struggle on, only returning when there is money to be made in rebuilding the infrastructure..
Money really is the route of all evil.
No it's not. That's one of the dumbest sayings of all time.
@@CalumL-fr6lg
Why??
No Harvey, money is *not* the root of all evil. The "LOVE of my money is the root of all evil". Money by itself is a tool.
@bluntlyspeaking8289
Putting it even more bluntly? Lol
But you know what I mean..
People will do some drastic things for a piece of printed paper?
It won't stay printed for long though and once we've gone digital, every penny the normal working person makes/spends will be accounted for.
6 or 7 hundred thousand people without a home in the USA, oh my goodness that's got to be embarrassing.
Empathy and compassion are not what makes you a good person. I love and care for my family and friends. The idea that I should treat all people like that is just wrong.
That's people with new money not people work old money. It's a totally different thing
I’d be interested in a parallel study of "distaster fatigue" meaning "rich" people are hit up by anyone poorer than them all the time (studies of lottery winners confirms this too) and I imagine they'd become fatigued/avoidant of others problems over time. If you do the maths, wealthier people did give it away to everyone who asked, everyone would only have 100 bucks (non life changing sums) and they (the rich) would be poor. Controversial quote but worth debating both sides "one thing we can do to help the poor is not become one of them".
It has more to do with TIME. Rich people operate at different wavelengths than average folks so they have to be more intentional and not fall prey to anyone that wants their attention.
I not rich in money spritual richness is very important and look at Oprah she gives all the time there are a lot of rich people that do have empathy my cousin has a lot of empathy and he is rich so I understand his analogy on this look at Dan Gilbert he's from detriot and helps a lot of people there are a lot of poor people that are poor Because if there bad choices so this is kinda not true but true what he's saying you have people with addictions that are poor or rich and either one of these groups might not have empathy plus everyone has there own cross too bare rather rich or poor
@@sonjamalone363 what’s your argument? I am a huge fan of Oprah. She does not give away her TIME freely. Early in her career, YES, but later through experience she learned and realized that if her show and audience didn’t align with her personal goals and values she would not host. Not every successful person has EMPATHY.
Exactly
Empathy doesn’t mean giving everyone money and time whenever they ask, you’ll just die lol. That’s why they say you have to learn to say no
@@alitaberry4190 very well said. The person that sets out to please EVERYONE fails before they even start.
Deborah Meaden is looking a little odd these days
Tragic title.
Backwards. This is only true of people who were handed wealth. Those Who earned it by offering some product or service that millions of people want are by definition helping millions of people.
Not remotely true. Studies have shown even people who ‘earned’ their wealth become quickly out of touch and less empathetic towards the plight of less wealthy people. Although the idea of ‘earned’ riches is also an interesting misnomer because even the new rich disregard the facts based around how they acquired their wealth and how hard they actually worked compared to their peers. Example: a lawyer who works in the financial industries works long hours but doesn’t accept that their high salaries are paid for by exploiting money in the form of fines and interest that banks charge the poor.
He clearly stated as you raise in wealth, no mention of those born with wealth.
You are talking about Meritocracy. Their children and their children will display complete apathy.
People who 'earned' the wealth tend to be more disagreeable, more narcissistic and less empathetic and or compassionate though. I don't use any of these terms as an insult. These are just personality traits commonly associated with people who perform/produce at a high level in any field, particularly those in leadership positions and entrepreneurial roles.
Prophetic:
Mark 10:25
King James Version
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
The richer you get, the more you realize that many people just want a pity party and you can’t keep giving people money every time for everything, people just have to stop self pity and just get on with it
Maybe check your own empathy Hun, it seems to be malfunctioning
Experimental design counts for lots of what outcome will be. What about SanFrancisco shoplifting now, that’s not wealthy children of the elite or privileged, and shops shutting down? Class isn’t a real measure. Siblings who gain status and wealth can turn into exasperated ass🏺holes. Interesting to say instead that a humble life may be worth more than a socially engineered life based on measuring wealth. Often the poor are more interesting to talk to than a bubble captured Berkeley phd. Every day actually.
