I appreciate how well this is laid out, and the thought behind it. However, one point that I can't help but think about throughout, and would be interested to see you address, is this. This "living under constant threat and uncertainty" may be new to many of us, but for many people from less privileged groups this is how they've lived their entire lives. People are so quick to point to success stories and say "oh this person was able to work hard and lift themselves out of a bad situation, so everyone should be able to". But maybe seeing for ourselves how incredibly hard it is to do things in this sort of survival mode could give us more empathy for those who can't, and more desire to help them.
