So there’s a difference between fairness, equal advantage, and equal disadvantage. Running a society based on a social and genetic lottery is a stupid idea, but we don’t seem to posses the practical or moral know-how to do otherwise, and even acknowledging that it’s a terrible thing we’re doing is probably a good start. All part of the evolution of our economic morality. It goes something like: * Right-Libertarianism (anarcho-capitalism): Obviously, success under such a system, in contrast to some meritocratic alternatives, would be a matter of luck, not talent. Being unregulated, a libertarian society would quickly fester into some sort of corporate feudalism, complete with cartels and a nice oligarchy, etc. Every day we forgo some freedoms in order to safeguard others. We give up the freedom to pee in the water supply in exchange for the freedom to not have to drink pee. By contrast, libertarianism acknowledges and empowers those who like to drink pee. * Meritocracy: Even if it were possible to actually reward effort based solely on merit, a meritocracy would still rely on some sort of genetic or environmental lottery. Clearly not the paradigm of morality. * Rawlsianism: seems the likeliest to produce a fair society. Though personally, I’m rooting for a post-scarcity socialistic anarchy utopia. That’s just me.
