@ChrisMayLA6 Sometimes, this can be branched out into equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity, or envy, or negative long term effects etc.
It is an enormously interesting question, since fairness is used so often as an argument.
But when we say fair, what do we really mean?

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
@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?
