Your phrasing just didn't match your point.

> I have something really priceless and rare, complete luxury of choice, and 99% of people don't

People working at Meta are almost without exception, people who have more luxury of choice than nearly anyone on the planet. It's very important to keep repeating this, and not say the direct opposite as you did. You can make your point without doing so.

You keep restating that Meta employees are enormously privileged as though that contradicts me. It doesn't - it's the premise. The entire phenomenon I'm describing, in response to "I cannot comprehend why", is that privilege and felt optionality are different things, and the gap between them is where people get stuck.

So what you have over them isn't freedom of choice, it's knowledge of your freedom of choice. That's a very important difference.
