another old post,

just figure Ill go through and look at drafts and stick them up on the wall:

I just started a post and got too distracted

what system can you devise that satisfies the requirement that everybody starts off on equal footing, and people have a chance to make their children's lives better than average?
contradiction.
the best you can do, is start everybody off on equal footing, and hope that people work to improve the average such that their progeny have a better chance.
But then you have leeches, and your improvements to your progeny are at the very margin unless the average is kept objectionably low and your efforts can help raise the average to tolerable.

I actually had part of this conversation recently with lecky ... the second half. ... but yeah ... the perfect world isn't really going to happen, sort of funny.
