This is true. It’s because we evolved over many hundreds of thousands of years as egalitarian hunter-gatherers and only relatively recently invented things like agriculture, big stratified societies, the bulk accumulation of wealth and property and work.

“If you see a bear riding a bicycle at the circus, do you assume it is the nature of bears to ride bicycles?”
