EVEN STEVEN – FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS WITH EQUALITY

FAIRNESS, as in EQUALITY, deals with OUTCOMES … that have to be FORCED.

EQUALITY suggests a NUMERICAL accounting. JUSTICE suggests a MORAL or legal accounting.

JUSTICE emphasizes action and accurate, TRUTHFUL evaluation of that action.

CROWDS comprehend the little boy level, the Steven level, the YOU-GOT-YOURS-I-WANT-MINE LEVEL

EQUALITY IN OUTCOME CAN NEVER BE REALIZED.

When we INSTITUTIONALIZE equality, some human beings have to IMPOSE that equality, and therefore those people are, by necessity, above all others.

but NO ONE WANTS an EQUAL AMOUNT of NOTHING.
