'DeBoer is skeptical of "equality of opportunity". Even if you solve racism, sexism, poverty, and many other things that DeBoer repeatedly reminds us have not been solved, you'll just get people succeeding or failing based on natural talent. DeBoer agrees conservatives can be satisfied with this, but thinks leftists shouldn't be. Natural talent is just as unearned as class, race, or any other unfair advantage.'
Ok, but it's better for social progress if the naturally talented keep most of their earnings and can afford to have large families, so that their talents are passed on. IQ, athletic and musical ability, looks, etc. all have substantial genetic components.
