So should we have more inequality to have more of all those things, then?

  Someone is always going to be stronger, faster, taller, younger, better looking, have more things, etc., than you do. If you use the envy to improve your life, then it's good. If you use the envy to tear down others to your level, that's not so good.

    I am not sure how your point implies that the current level of inequality is either optimal or too low
    • WalterBright 7y ago
      I didn't imply it was optimal or not. My point was that's the wrong question.

      You are implying that there should be "optimal" levels in wealth inequality, but do we really have relative limits/levels for any other unequality aspect (strength, speed, height, age, or beauty) to say there should be one on wealth?
