I'm saying, as another commenter put it, "equality is unstable". Equal opportunity leads to unequal outcomes, unequal outcomes leads to unequal opportunity.

- gwright 4y agoI'm having a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here. I would assert though that in a world of unique individuals there won't ever be "equal outcomes" regardless of the distribution and nature of opportunities, which is not a statement about how to improve or maximize opportunities. I would also assert that there is no agreement that "equal outcomes" is a desirable goal nor is it even a well-defined goal.
- Buttons840 4y agoI agree. I never argue that equal outcomes is possible (the words "equal outcome" never appear in my comment). I argue that even if we have equal opportunities, then we will still get unequal outcomes. I believe we are in agreement on every point.
