The heavy usage of fossil fuel started an historical period where we no longer lived in a zero sum economic world. Thus the cost of "fairness" could easily be paid for within the system. What happens when you go back to something closer to a zero sum...well that is open for discussion. Note, although not exactly stated that way, it was one of the major themes of Lucifer's Hammer.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-57063872069182735562014-09-11T11:06:22.400-04:002014-09-11T11:06:22.400-04:00Russ - I wonder why?

While some natural advantages may not be the most appealing at the individual level depending on the circumstances I guess. <br /><br />More than likely the crux of the problem in humans is that what they call fair is in reality just them trying to gain and edge.<br /> PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-87700872471881588272014-09-11T10:14:20.567-04:002014-09-11T10:14:20.567-04:00"To the strong, the prize."
