"Humans were always divided into classes of people ever since human species existed, they were never equal and they never will be equal, this is a human trait, not something billionaires created, they were just the best today at rising to the top within this human inequality system that has always existed and will always exist."

Woah the air is thick with BS.

Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they're better smarter hard working or anything more than anyone else. They've just had particular circumstances in their lives. Most societies are not truly meritocratic where the most competent and skilled people would succeed. This is not the determining factor. Education is a great example of this when in many countries not everyone has equal access to education. People do not have equal access to resources or networks or support structures to become entrepreneurs. To start a business or to study or to become whatever they could be.

Eventually People may not be equal or have equal skills and talents and that's fine but everyone should have an equal opportunity.


> Did they teach history where you're from? Humans were always divided into classes of people ever since human species existed, they were never equal and they never will be equal, this is a human trait, not something billionaires created, they were just the best at rising to the top within this human inequality system that has always existed.

If anyone could use a history or anthropology lesson, it is you.

What you stated is simply not true, and we have plenty of ethnographical and archeological evidence for that.

You simply repeat ideology of the current times.

Last but not least, your parent speaks of dividing whole countries into classes. I don't know what billionaires have to do with it.

Don't be pathetic. You stated:

> Humans were always divided into classes of people ever since human species existed, they were never equal and they never will be equal, this is a human trait

This is not true. Nothing to do with MRIs or Apollo missions.


>Don't be pathetic.

Don't break HN rules insulting people. I'm not your dad to talk to me like that.

>This is not true.

Why isn't it true?

>Nothing to do with MRIs or Apollo missions.

How is developing MRI machines and going to the moon not the utmost examples of peak human intelligence, achievements and meritocracy? If that isn't, what is?


So which do you mean:

1. None of that is necessary to having planes and MRI machines, so what you're replying to is basically correct,

or

2. We should rouse ourselves from apathy in order to give up planes and MRI machines, and even out the poverty, which is eternal.
