    But what causes people to value fairness so little or so much? When I support equality, I don’t just mean wealth or resources, but everything, and in this case it’s intellect or knowledge. When people have different intellect or knowledge, there is bound to be misunderstanding or miscommunication or other issues. People who have low empathy or are ignorant or dumb to realize how fairness affects people can make things worse. I guess in this case we can make everyone equally smart so no one can deceive and no more misunderstanding. Can’t make smart people dumber so I suggest making dumb people smarter which is to give education to those who need it.

      You answered it yourself, but I will elaborate.

      Humans are different between individuals. Some people are dumb. Some people are mean. Some people are evil. Fundamentally the paradox of tolerance applies to fairness as well.

        Well you wouldn’t like this answer probably. I suggest to eliminate the differences but i think it’s impossible. As long as there is positive, there is negative. To eliminate the negative is to eliminate the positive too, which is neutral and can make life very dull. So my other suggestion is quite radical which is to eliminate life itself. Or just make life or the world as fair as possible even if it’s impossible.

          Ah, good old fashioned Nihilism. Another thing that I think is silly.

          It is irrelevant what you think personally. Other people don’t necessarily think those things and assuming that they will or do abide by your positions without an incentive is folly.

            I’m simply just providing my solutions or opinions. Better than nothing i guess, unless you have a better plan.

            Of course, it’s impossible to please everyone. Can’t take some without losing some. So maybe just brute force it? Idk.

              So your suggestion is to force people to agree with you and to submit to your interpretation of fairness… with violence…

                  So your solution is to kill everyone because some people disagree with you?

                    Wdym people disagree with me? I believe inequality is what causes evil to exist in this world, and to make everything equal might be impossible, or even if it is, life will be extremely boring It might be impossible to achieve happiness, because everything is the same. A world without pain or suffering but also devoid of happiness. I suggest to eliminate every life to eliminate suffering.
