A lot of *waves hand* things going on right now are about our insistence that rich people have the same emotions that non rich people have. And while they may have the same working set of emotions, they have different meaning.

Shame and embarrassment and belonging -- money and power really shape those differently. It is never a good idea to do a 1:1 emotional map across significant power differences.

You can do it across power and mayyyybe with a lot of work and previous experiences you can map emotions down the power difference but not up.

Our love for psychological explanations can crowd out how emotions are also conditioned on social interactions and, well, power. We use the same labels for what we feel but that doesn't mean we are talking about the same experiences.

Shame, in particular, is a very middle class emotional landscape.
