> have no sympathy for those in Hong Kong who have more rights and a better standard of living than they do.
I always find this paradox as interesting as sad.
This Lose/Win mentality evolved as a solution to small community of humans with limited resources. In that situation, how to split the insufficient resources is the main problem. The more others get, the less is left for me.
In current modern society, the more education and resources has the people around me the more they produce and I can benefit from it.
Or brain did not evolve to our modern world, I guess. Helping people to think Win/Win would be a great paradigm shift moving into the future of our society.
It's crab mentality [1] and you're right, it's extremely sad. We see it absolutely everywhere. So many people who (for example) hate the rich rather than loving the poor.
