I would rather live in an egalitarian society, but I think a lot of people like living in a stratified world where some people have more status than others. It's not just an indifference to human suffering. Many people in the limousines would be less happy if everyone had the same limousine. Public conversations about inequality rarely mention this, but it seems to me like the biggest obstacle to living in a more equal society.

I know the phenomenon is not news to you, so I don't mean to sound like I'm telling you something you don't know.
