Inequality in society starts at very young ages. Age 6 at the latest. Most likely even age 2-3.
The thing about school is 'no child left behind' means education teaches to such a low and slow level that the dumbest of kids can pass. The majority of kids in the bell curve even find school to be idiotically low tier. That's the best our school system can do is teach to the lowest tier kid and get that dumb kid to 51%.
However, the kids who take it upon themselves to go above and beyond. Read more, do their homework, have good social skills, etc. They move to the top of the class without much effort.
The dumb kid who has 50 absent days in school and only gets 51% and moved onto the next grade is NOT equal to the kid who goes to school every day, gets their homework done and makes the effort to understand the subjects. Who then goes on to become something successful in life.
There will always be inequality until there's some serious big changes to education but that wont happen.
Economist Keynes predicted 15 hour work weeks: https://www.npr.org/2015/08/13/432122637/keynes-predicted-we-would-be-working-15-hour-weeks-why-was-he-so-wrong https://www.npr.org/2015/08/13/432122637/keynes-predicted-we...
He wasn't wrong, but he was wrong. So what gives? It's because people aren't equal. If you analyze how much bullshit jobs exist to fill nothing productivity and were to appropriately hand out workload equally. People should right today be able to work 10-20 hour weeks for the same wages.
Very important to society as well is to reward being better, to incentivize being better. The radiologist gets to drive the Tesla Model S plaid edition. The mcjob 51%er gets the $5000 piece of shit car nobody else wants.
