I don’t know if you have a named bias there, but I think seeing a situation that’s pretty bad, and then not looking for good possibilities in the odd corners, counts as a bad mental habit.
I’ll note that one of the biggest new fortunes is Google, and their core products aren’t status related, even if many Google ads are. What’s more, Google’s improvement of search has made people generally more capable.
I don’t think it makes sense for you to try to make the most possible money by trying to create The Next Big Thing. Maybe I’m too indulgent, but I don’t think people are at their best trying to do what they hate, and I think it’s easier to create things that serve motivations you can understand.
