The maximum entropy situation is one dog with 6+ bones and lots with none. It is structurally broken at a statistical mechanics level if you are concerned about fairness.
- spython 8y agoIt's not easy to imagine somebody having 6+ full time jobs. Just because the time of the worker is the limiting resource.
- salty_biscuits 8y agoI was thinking of the financial rewards of said jobs (and probably stretching the metaphor a little thin). I think that without more constraints then you end up with a distribution that most people would consider unfair.
