When you’re born into extreme privilege, especially hereditary privilege, your feedback system gets warped early. Most people learn boundaries because crossing them brings social rejection, financial pain, and legal trouble.

If you grow up where status shields you, consequences are softened, and people defer automatically, your sense of risk develops differently. You discount penalties. You overestimate immunity. It’s basic conditioning.

Add elite circles where deviance is normalized and protected, and the risk calculation shifts again. If your peer group models impunity, the perceived cost of crossing lines drops even further.

This isn’t my opinion. It's what decades of behavioral and social psychology research on status, wealth, and consequence sensitivity tells us.
