> Using genetics to explain the fairness of capitalism
No one was doing this. I was pointing out the unfairness of capitalism. The idea that some people are genetically or developmentally less predisposed to skills that will give them a comfortable income is an argument for the unfairness of capitalism, because I haven't heard a convincing argument that this predisposition makes them less deserving of a comfortable life.
If anything the flip-side of this (arguing that humans are pretty close in ability and variations in earning are more about circumstance) is really more aligned with the pro-capitalist narrative that everyone has opportunity, and lack of success is usually due to not seizing it.
