"Injustice results as much from treating unequals equally as from treating equals unequally."

— Aristotle, Politics

What people don't realise is that equality is either evil or just plan stupid.

Equality of outcome is obviously retarded. This is what communists believe. But what many people - even on the right - fail to realise, is that equality of opportunity is also retarded (although not as evil).

You can't have it. In order for everyone to have equal opportunity, they'd all need to have the same genetics, the same parents, be born in the same place, at the same time, with the same resources.

You do NOT want equality.

You want fairness. And fairness leads specifically, to inequality.

The Bushido of Bitcoin is finally ready.

Release date TBA...Stay tuned.

If you can’t have equality of opportunity, then wouldn’t that mean we can’t have fairness either?

Because someone will always have an advantage over someone else (genetics, IQ, upbringing, resources etc) making the playing not perfectly fair

Fair is about the rules, and their application

Fair rules sounds like equality of opportunity to me. What’s the difference between fairness & equal opportunity?

This should help clarify.
