wealth in terms of invented wealth and wealth in terms of resource consumption are quite different. You'll never really make this argument until you can show "they took our land;" otherwise the American vision is NOT to see wealth accumulation as a zero sum game.

What argument? It was a graph showing that American's think they have it better than the reality of the situation.

What is implied in the survey is different from what is measured in the observation. It's a basic psychological measurement error called implacature.

Christian Textbook Urges Readers To “Keep a Closed Mind”

ugh, that's just fucking depressing.
Christianity has the best deceptions.

You guys are missing the lesson aim part. Basically don't listen to the devils distractions. One could easily say this lesson is pretty relevant to the White Nationalist/Nazi march or the I'm better than you because I have a job to the deadbeat welfare Mom.
I'm out I hate words in this thread.

the issue is defining who is the devil, what are the devil's words, and who is the arbiter of truth as a guide post against the devil. It basically sets up the premise that you guide yourself to that one source that self-proclaims its own divinity: your pastor, Fox News, that slightly-burned grilled cheese sandwich, and close your mind to all other information because all of that other information is the devil.

Christian Textbook Urges Readers To “Keep a Closed Mind”

The 'security gap' which has long been exploited, promoted, and defended by every religious authority of the three Abrahamic religions.

It crossed my mind recently how among Muslims you'd find some who claim that the Quran 'contains within everything', which is literally mentioned in Quran itself (I take 'general guidance' as the target of that verse).
However, in another verse you'd find what could be translated to "and they ask you about the soul, tell them the soul is God's own order, and you have been given only limited knowledge".
