Quote of the Day: 7 May 2022 #QotD

“Equal opportunity is not the same as equal probabilities of success. The distinction is fundamental, despite how often that distinction is blurred by those who equate equal ‘opportunity’ with equal ‘life chances,’ and declare a society without equal outcomes to be a society without equal opportunity.” -Thomas Sowell
“Equal opportunity is not the same as equal probabilities of success. The distinction is fundamental, despite how often that distinction is blurred by those who equate equal ‘opportunity’ with equal ‘life chances,’ and declare a society without equal outcomes to be a society without equal opportunity.” -Thomas Sowell
[Despite attempts to rectify it (as though it was a deficiency in society) you cannot equalize outcomes. People are not interchangeable, and some people want different things than other people. You aren't going to be happy having exactly the same life as your neighbors.]
