>Why would you give more freedom and more money to someone who has a larger brain capacity? preferences aside, you "get" things because you either make them yourself, or you barter the value you are able to generate. money is just the fungible medium to mediate such barter, it makes the value you generate exchangeable in a generic way instead of limiting you to barter only with people who has things you want / need. if you are smart, you can generate more valuable things and provide more valuable services for other people. in return you get more things. it is perfectly natural. it is not random. your bodily flexibility or strong hands don't produce things, by themselves, that you can exchange for things you need / want. you can convert those skills to generate value (for yourself to survive, or for others to exchange with things for your survival) but by themselves they don't mean much. I am not saying it is a good deal for most people, but it is a perfectly natural order in how things work.
