re: People still don't understand net worth/wealth vs income

Spending any amount of time on Twitter is depressing to see the sheer number of people, real or not, that think we would all be happier, more productive people if everyone earned the same amount. Why would any human do the "hard" or "complicated" things, if doing nothing or the bare minimum yielded the same results?

Not only do they not understand economics, they don't understand human behavior. At all.
