Few people want to believe that they are selfish.

Sadly, the paper hasn't been published and 'identifies more strongly with' is rather vague in definition.

Wealth brings power, power brings entitlement.

Data: Stanford prison and the rigged Monopoly / pretzels experiments.

Qualitatively:

- Dbag taking up the entire level ramp in the parking garage with his Tesla so no one else can pass in the opposite direction.

- Folks allergic to using turn signals, wasting everyone else's time and jeopardizing safety.

- Basically empty winter holiday collection containers in tech areas. (Stingy fuckers.)

- Could bitch on and on, but it's banally common in built-up areas.
