WHAT’S “FAIR”?

Q&A: What is ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’? — Jason Cockrell

Fair (moral): reciprocity. meaning actions limited to (a) productive, (b) fully informed, (c) warrantied, (d) voluntary transfers, (e) limited to productive externalities.

This prohibits profiting from another’s loss, and the construction of hazards: parasitism.

It’s an easier comparison when we think of adult vs child (asymmetry of knowledge and understanding). We tend to be more ‘ok’ with fucking over other adults. We are not ‘ok’ with fucking over children.

But this is because we falsely consider other adults ‘equal’ or ‘peers’ under christianity and the enlightenment. When in fact, the adult-child disparity in knowledge and understanding increases rapidly in a division of knowledge, and labor.

I was taught ‘noblesse oblige’ which is that we don’t take advantage of the lower classes, but we hold those above us to the same standard we hold ourselves to in relation to those below us.

Judgement flows downhill, and so does forgiveness. The ignorant cannot judge and since they cannot judge they cannot forgive.

Hence the value of christianity in creating divisions of knowledge and labor.

Christianity + Aristocracy is a good combination. Forgive because you cannot judge, and take responsibility, because you can judge.
