Many or most of the elite/richest people in the world are prosocials, how does anyone explain they get that way if their mind seeks equal distribution? why must it be a dichotomistic either/or? why not recognise both exist? use branson as an example. he has shown an entrepreneurial spirit in his ventures. yet his ventures nudge and drive changes, sometimes benefitting humanity. so the elite gets to buy a flight that soars to the edge of space. but ultimately, humanity will benefit from the technological advances made by this venture.
