RE: Our Corrupt Sense of Fairness

in #philosophy8 years ago

I think that people will never be satisfied with any one model or a system - no matter how good. It's in their nature.

There was an excellent scene in Spartacus: War of the Damned final episode that pretty much sums up the concept of "fairness":

"Crassus and Spartacus leave the others for a face to face.
In conversation, Spartacus lets slip that a female slave killed Tiberius.
The two men compare personal losses; Crassus has lost a son, Spartacus, a wife.
“There is no justice, not in this world,” Spartacus says.
“At last,” Crassus responds. “A thing we agree upon.”
The two men clasp arms.

There will always be hungry people on Earth, so why put any effort in trying to solve world hunger?
