Fascinating. Raises interesting questions about the purpose of selflessness & modesty in modern societies, along with the role of politeness. Are these things that emerge from unequal societies, and if so, why?

@cian@post.lurk.org I strongly suspect it could be since truly egalitarian societies are NOT nice and polite, they can have a laugh that's for sure. Often there isn't a word for please/thank you...and if people with MORE are the nice polite ones, instantly question their motives!
