It's the best way to ensure equal outcomes. Perhaps equal outcomes is just a nasty goal.
- cwalv 4y agoEqual outcomes is a fine goal, and this is a terrible example of a good way to achieve it. It may be the quickest/easiest way (maybe even the only way given the levers they have control over), but that doesn't make it good.
- nonethewiser 4y agoMerit, effort, intelligence, empathy, effort etc. aren’t equally distributed. Why should a cruel person with tons of advantages and no motivation experience the same as a smart, kind, hard working person? If you’re not for that you can see equal outcomes are a bad goal.
