- whatshisface 5y agoThe real world is a mixture of zero-sum and positive-sum games, and people do not like the idea that they and their descendants will be destined to lose (in a compounding way) every competition. After a few generations of selection you will have a large population of people who wouldn't be good starting points even if they could afford it, because their genomes would be far behind by that point. Unless you want that you happen, you'd better make sure that everybody gets it if anybody does.
