"My solution is TO CUT OFF THE FUCKING BALL AND CHAIN..." Directionally, one couldn't agree more. Sadly, as long as opportunity itself is an outcome, equality of outcome is unattainable. IOW, some components of our balls and chains are immutable, organic, and unbreakable. IQ -- mental horsepower matters. Cultural values, such as a love for education or the value of hard work inform motivation.
As long as political power accrues to the clever, we'll be dispossessed.
I don’t consider equality of outcome to be a desirable goal at all. All I want is a reasonably level field for people to compete on, and then may the best prevail — yes, that does result in a certain unfairness, in that talent in any given field is not equally distributed by nature, but the alternative is much worse.
