RE: The inconvenient truth about wealth inequality

in #mathematics7 years ago

This was a great reading mate, congratulations!

It is gives evidence that wealth inequality is a fact of life

I do think inequality is inevitable, simply because every individual takes different choices, and therefore they have different results.

Besides, when it comes to wealth, having a lot of wealth in the first place allows you to earn more wealth later on. So inequality is inevitable. Either way, I think the biggest problem is poverty.


Have you realized how much we like to simulate things about civilization? I mean, you just simulated how wealth would be distributed under certain circumstances, and I know this is totally unrelated but given the fact we like to simulate so many things, that makes me believe even more in the Simulation Theory, do you know it?

Thanks for the kind words :D

Whether poverty is a problem is also a non-trivial question. There seems to be a relation between IQ and income Zagorsky, 2006 is it then a good idea to sustain poor indiviuals with low IQ? Connected to this is that low IQ families get low IQ children Carmargo-Figuera et al., 2014 So how should this be handled?


Being able to simulate the real word gives no evidence that we are living in a simulation. In addition, if we could not simulate the real word then this does not give evidence that we are not living in a simulation since axioms can be imposed by the simulation.
