The concept of luxury beliefs refers to beliefs of the upper class that confer status but impose costs on others. Examples include advocating for defunding the police while having private security and claiming that two-parent households or marriage offer no advantages while most successful individuals come from traditional family structures. This behavior parallels instances like climate change activists flying on private jets and hypocritical public figures. The term 'luxury beliefs' encapsulates this phenomenon of overcompensation and inconsistency within societal values.
