1111111 RULES OF NATURE]
IN ORDER TO DESIGN SOCIETY, WE MUST IMAGINE WE ARE LOOKING THROUGH A VEIL OF KNOWLEDGE! AT THE ANNUAL COLLOQUIUM OF EVIL PHILOSOPHERS... WE MUST IMAGINE WE WILL BE BORN IN A SOCIETY KNOWING ALL OUR FUTURE PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS: GENDER, AGE, RACE, INTELLIGENCE, TALENTS, SOCIAL STATUS, AND SO ON. THE SOCIETY IN WHICH I CAN MOST MINMAX FOR PERSONAL GAIN IS THE ONE WE SHOULD STRIVE FOR THE ONE WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF INEQUALITY! AFTER ALL, IF WE ACHIEVE INEQUALITY THROUGH FAIR AND JUSTIFIED ACTIONS, NO TRUE EVIL HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED! 205 WE MUST THEN EACH ASK OURSELVES, HOW COULD I STRUCTURE SOCIETY SO THAT BY PICKING THE CONDITIONS OF BIRTH FOR MYSELF I CAN BENEFIT THE MOST! BUT, EVIL JOHN RAWLS, EVIL ROBERT NOZICK SAYS WE SHOULDN'T FOCUS ON ACHIEVING INEQUALITY, BUT RATHER FOCUS ON A PROCESS IN WHICH ALL ACTIONS ARE UNJUST. WITTE OH YEAH?! WELL WHAT IF A SEQUENCE OF UNJUST ACTIONS LEADS TO A FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IN A PROSPEROUS SOCIETY!? DON'T YELL AT ME - I THINK YOU'RE BOTH WRONG. I'M AN EVIL COMMUNITARIAN. I THINK EVIL DEEDS SHOULD BE DONE IN CONSIDERATION OF LOCAL TRADITIONS AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT, NOT SOME HIGH-FLUNG ABSTRACT THEORY! BOOOORING. mela 11 smbc-comics.com
