I think adult 'socialists' ( as opposed to capitalists ) are in that league.

A quote come to mind: “If at age 20 you are not a Communist then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are not a Capitalist then you have no brains.”

Survivorship bias people in their 30s be like "My money stacks have bullet holes, better buy some armor for my money stacks" ignoring the corpses and poverty of their less fortunate peers.
