Rawls challenges us to rethink justice by stripping away our biases and imagining a society where fairness is the foundation. From the arbitrary "natural lottery" of birth to the profound implications of the "difference principle," we'll delve into how Rawls' vision can reshape our understanding of merit, equality, and social justice. This deep dive into Rawls' radical ideas will leave you questioning the very fabric of societal structures and pondering the true meaning of fairness.

how can an aristocratic world view be unjust if by your admission what constitutes as just and unjust is entirely arbitrary? It seems as though you are stating philosophical facts and then using them to support unrelated ideas this is why people mock moral relativism when in reality it is the most objective and realistic outlook its because it has no practical use and basically nothing can be constructed at the revelation that everything we care about only subjectively matters but the people who try to use this to uphold some despicable leftist ideology in your case end up not connecting the axiom with the statement also by definition to try to fight the arbitrary whims of nature you are creating an intrinsically flawed world view and society that will not thrive in the real world and cause distress in anyone subject to such an ideology

He should have moved to Cambodia or the USSR. Hopefully he practices what he preaches and gives the royalties from this shit book to some equally deserving woman of colour.
