I don't mean to take the conversational bait, but that story is explicitly not about fairness, it is about equality, and about the dangers of mixing fairness and equality.

Fairness = same opportunities
Equality = same outcomes

- FranciscusG 7y agoIf Fairness equals same opportunities, then that implies it would only be "fair" (Fairness) to have a Eugenics program, resulting in every child born being of identically high IQ and other character traits, physical abilities, health and talents. I am not arguing in favor or against Eugenics - just making an observation.
