| Chrkeller said: Late to the party but I do not like the equity push. Equal outcome? Talent and hardwork play a huge role in outcome. People are not entitled to equal outcome. I'm not entitled to a Nobel Prize because there are more talented and harding working people than I am. And an un-level playing field drives motivation. I dont work 50 hours a week for me, I do it to give my children an edge over the competition. Equal outcome is de-motivating. |
Yeah I somewhat agree with this.
On the one hand, people should be treated equally in so far as a school or a business shouldn't be allowed to exclude say women or black people, or pay them less for the same work, and everyone should have the same basic legal rights.
On the flipside, people have every right to leave wealth to their children to give them a head start, and those who excel should not be held back by those that don't make the effort.
As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said, "Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free."
