Admitting that life is inherently unfair and the narrow margins your dubious "free will" can exert its power in are decided at birth and through events outside

Admitting that life is inherently unfair and the narrow margins your dubious "free will" can exert its power in are decided at birth and through events outside of your control gets many people's panties twisted. Probably because it absolutely rejects the cherished lie of individualistic self-determinism?
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI don't see how recognizing the fact that life can never be 100% fair means that therefor we shouldn't do whatever is possible. If someone will have disadvantages compared to me no matter what I do, so what? I still don't have to help make it even worse, or even stand by and not help move the needle at least a little in the better-world direction. What's wrong with simply having that goal as an ideal and a direction that you aim? Forget about how far you can actually get, you still have a choice which direction to walk.
