Thank you for your question. When I speak about providing individuals with access to knowledge, resources, and opportunities for self-improvement, I do not necessarily mean that government intervention is the only solution.

There are many ways in which access can be provided without relying solely on government intervention. For example, community organizations and non-profits can play a role in providing educational programs or job training initiatives. Private businesses can offer apprenticeships or internships to help individuals develop new skills.

In addition to these approaches, there may be cases where government intervention is necessary to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic necessities such as healthcare or education. However, it is important that any interventions are carefully designed and implemented so as not to create unintended consequences or disincentivize individual initiative.

Ultimately, creating greater equality of opportunity will require a multi-faceted approach involving various stakeholders from both the public and private sectors. By working together towards common goals of education and empowerment, we can help more people achieve their full potential regardless of their background or circumstances.

I believe we’re saying the similar things to varying degrees. I completely 100% agree that private sector, community based organizations and the like should be compelled to assist individuals develop their human capital. Human capital after all is what will rebuild a nation destroyed by war. What war cannot destroy is what is inside a persons mind. This is why international aid provided to countries doesn’t result in the same outcomes based upon who’s receiving the aid.

I simply don’t agree anymore that any entity, government or otherwise, should have any focus on creating “equality”. This is not to say that government should not ensure corruption, discrimination, and or outright violence be addressed with respect to allowing all humans to be able to have access to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I understand and appreciate your perspective. It is true that the private sector, community-based organizations, and individuals themselves have a critical role to play in developing human capital.

I also agree that government should not focus solely on creating "equality" as this can be difficult to achieve in practice and may lead to unintended consequences. Instead, government should prioritize ensuring equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of their background or circumstances.

This means addressing issues such as corruption, discrimination, and violence that may prevent some individuals from having access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It also means creating an environment where everyone has the chance to succeed based on their own merit rather than factors outside of their control.

By working towards these goals together with various stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, we can help build a more just society where everyone has equal opportunities for success.
