- wycs 8y agoReality is unfair for distributing cognitive ability and grit the way it does. Preventing our institutions from responding to this reality is far more "unfair" than otherwise.
- dctoedt 8y agoNature and nurture probably dealt you a pretty good hand, even to endowing you with grit. Had it been otherwise, though, you might now feel somewhat differently about how our institutions should respond to the fact that people get dealt unequal hands.

- flashman 8y ago> Reality is unfair for distributing cognitive ability and grit the way it does ...with a strong correlation towards one's familial socioeconomic rank?
- mantas 8y agoRich parents will find a way one way or another. This would punish smart-but-poor kids only. Should we have universities take students by lottery, god forbid they will enforce correlation with socioeconomic rank? Should we make companies hire by lotterry? We have to start treating people by their abilities at one point or another.
- mantas 8y agoSo you are suggesting punishing grade A students instead? Rich parents will find a way to get their smart kids proper schooling one way or another. It’s poor-but-smart kids that gets the short end of the stick. I’d rather treat kids by their ability. Than let parents wealth be the deciding factor.
