Oh, no fair! You always win! This game is rigged! Pfff! How could this game possibly be rigged? Ah, he memorized all of the maps! They're randomly generated. My controller is broken! I just bought that one. Gaming is an unsafe space for people like me. Well, if the game isn't rigged, how is it that he has more points than me? I don't know, maybe he's just better than you? Bob, a disparity is not proof of injustice. Yes, it is! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh! Actually... Ah! Here we go. Bob, just because one person outperforms someone else doesn't mean the game is rigged. We all have different interests, talents, and skills. And as a result, we tend to accomplish different things. This is a huge part of why we see disparities on the individual level and also at the group level. And usually, it's actually a good thing. Are you suggesting it's my fault that the game is rigged against me? That's victim blaming! And now you're telling me it's okay that some groups have unequal results! When those results are a product of people's unique choices and actions? Absolutely. If people outcomes in every arena is mandatory, we end up reducing people to statistics instead of treating them as unique individuals with different goals and values making their own decisions. I am sick of hearing days excuses! Someone needs to modify this game so that everyone's a winner! Thank you! Now where equal? What? No, we're not. You didn't learn how to play the game better, did you? You didn't actually beat me. Nothing about our abilities changed. But now, thanks to this jerk, the score doesn't even mean anything. Now it actually IS rigged. Yep. Sorry, Bob, you both started out with an equal opportunity to win the game. You didn't have equal skills. And there are tons of areas of life where people will never be equal. Ron needs glasses and you don't. You need to moisturize your butt and plants and I don't. I thought you were going to stop bringing those up! In the end, demanding equal outcomes will never be fair or account for the real differences in people's choices. It's just another way of cheating when things don't work out the way you want. That's why we need to focus on making sure everyone has equal opportunity instead. People will never be perfectly equal. But as long as the rules don't give some people special advantages over others, ehem, Bob. Then we should embrace our differences instead of trying to eliminate them.
