Yes, I completely agree; like so many claims, it really needs to be fully stipulated when claimed, but as you note seldom is.... so often, I find myself wondering what people's view of 'fairness' might be when I struggle to see how something they say is (un)fair is (un)fair

In response to this post

@ChrisMayLA6 This I think, opens up the conversation to an exploration of values.

Where do our values come from? How do we build them? How do they develop?

I am very fascinated by people who turn from being capitalists to communist, or communists to capitalists.

Radical shifts of value and ideology is very rare, and I always wonder how it comes about?


@h4890

Yes, its a really good Q.; on the change, when I've occasionally seen it happen its pretty much always been linked to a personal crisis (which switches round the assessment of the status quo, because you are suddenly at the sharp end).... on where they come from; for me there's a Jesuitical thing here; as they say, given me the big 'til seven & I'll give you the man'.... there's a lot of influence from parents but not necessarily intended influence....
