The message “we could all share and the owner class might willingly transition to more circular/community-managed economies!” is not as sexy as “we’ll get yours forfrom you, 'cause we’re the best and we know you deserve to feel special!”

who can really know where mental gymnastics are learned. surely they develop slowly over time, like any type of flexibility…
