I wasn't talking about the wealth of pro athletes but their athletic capabilities. Your workouts will be miserable for the rest of your life if those are the people you're comparing yourself to.
Again, the comparison itself isn't the point.
The point is that the astronomical levels of income and wealth of centimillionaires and billionaires aren't possible without ruining society in thousands of ways that DO affect YOU directly and profoundly whether or not you're actively comparing yourself to anyone.
