Thought experiment «VEIL OF IGNORANCE» (English)

Imagine that, along with others, you can create a world in which justice reigns. To ensure that your decisions are unbiased, you are enveloped in a veil of ignorance. What goods will you distribute, and how? Who has rights - and which ones?
What is right? What is real? And who am I, after all? Philosophy asks life's big questions. We present these questions as animated thought experiments, and thereby show how fascinating and entertaining it is to ponder life.

thats how to detect who is thinking of the epicness of potentiality remaining having weighed their ideals through time.

thank you so much

We need to know the character in order to give them the best possible outcomes, if we dont tailor it for each and give everyone the same then almost nobody is going to benefit from it. I get the message and I personally agree but also dont because it cant be applied to everything

Thankyou sir 🙏

Perhaps equal opportunity not equal out come would be more just. This misses equal choice to put out effort to achieve the desired outcome.

Humans are like ants. We all have our own roles to play. We all carry our own straw. Individual defines good and bad (job in this case) by believing and therefore mimicking the cultural point of view of his/her living environment.

The 20% wage is based on Women working less than Men and on less demanding jobs. Other than that nice.

[@troyeseffigy]

women with the exact same job tend to make less than men also

[@aesirvanir8671]

@@troyeseffigy Wrong. The law does not allow employers to pay their employees according to their gender. Moreover, consider this: if it is true that employers are *allowed* to pay female employees less than male employees, and there is no notable difference in output, productivity and so on between males and females, then why are men still being hired?

The depiction of poor immigrants was pretty degrading. It should depict them having to work harder not just being smelly 👀

Ideally there should be few if any immigrants. A society should benefit the nation who builds the society. Mass immigration creates poverty, alienation, crime, and eventually violent conflict. Neighbors who tread on each other's lands tend to hate each other. A just and fair society allots a nation for every People. If there is no mass migration of people trampling upon the culture and dignities of others, then everyone can live in peace. Peace is built upon mutual respect. Open borders destroys this because the immigrants do not respect the laws, customs, languages, and history of their host nation and the natives resent the arrogant newcomers who trample on their ancestors land. Conflict is the result. So in a fair society, there is no large scale immigration. Only this way can the uniqueness of each nation be preserved.

[@omarmadhloom2602]

In a fair society Europe apologises for colonialism and gives back the wealth it stole plus compensation for the atrocities and genocide it committed. How do you like them apples?

[@JerryReyes]

If you increase your supply of labor you will gain net positive, or at worse, net neutral economic results. Immigrants tend adapt within one or two generations. In a world where supply of labor is decreasing, most economists will agree that immigration is a good thing for the economy. If you want to talk culture then just look at how the US is far ahead in terms of cultural impact due to its varying talents in a large amount of fields including music. Peace between groups can be mostly resolved by educating the different groups and not allowing large corporations spread misinformation through media in an effort to pit working class natives against immigrants.
