That’s some pretty extreme all-or-nothing thinking. Why do you believe this is the only solution?

- kenjackson 5y agoHow else do you remedy the compounding advantage throughout various parts of the society?
- pdonis 5y agoYou don't. "Compounding advantage" is a fact of life. Historically, the societies that have dealt with this unpleasant fact of life the best have been those that had some concept of "noblesse oblige"--if you are one of the fortunate ones with "compounding advantage" on your side, you have an obligation to use those gifts to help others less fortunate than you. But trying to erase the advantage doesn't work; every time it has been tried, it has just ended up causing even more misery (and in many cases lots of deaths).
