> What you’re missing is that everybody on this forum is part of the top one percent

Hardly. People here have a higher-than-one-percent chance of being in the top 1%, but it's a long way from "everyone here".

> On a global scale, if you live in the west, most likely you’re in the top 1%.

Obviously wrong. The global population is 8 billion; the US plus the EU is about 700 million.

And you have a not insignificant number of 1%ers in Saudi Arabia and China, and scattered around the rest of the world as well. Wasn't the CEO of Alibaba the richest person in the world for a minute circa 2020?
