This whole line of thinking is part of what has gotten us into the messes
we are in now. It is "equity" thinking... that everyone's outcomes should
be equal... rather than "equality" thinking... we should all have equal
opportunity to reach our own potential, which should not be expected to be
the same between *individuals*.
So we are both great enemies of modern "thinkers." ;)
