Let's flip this around. Consider specialization. Its necessary in a complex society correct? Are all specializations (jobs) going to be equally desirable? Should they all be equally compensated? That's going to create inequality all on its own. You can make similar arguments for power seeking too.
Life isn't fair. Trying to make it fair (counter-intuitively) often only results in more suffering. An anti-suffering ethos is going to be a lot more successful for you (or anyone really) than an anti-inequality one.
- hitarpetar 1y agoI think that's usually what people mean when they talk about economic inequality. not that we need absolute equality, but that we have extreme inequality that is clearly causing a lot of suffering
- hunterpayne 1y agoThen why do all the policies designed to address those issues only increase suffering?
