Is Equality Good? Opportunity vs Outcome? (online discussion)

Details

Equality of Opportunity vs Outcome; which is better? Are either good? What's the difference?

Is Equality in itself a good thing? Is ultimate equality even feasible? If not, the why do we even strive for it? The concept of equality or fairness seems to be a cornerstone of a moral, civilized society. Frankly I don't know why.

The typical Left vs Right debate is whether Equality of Outcome is better or worse than Equality of Opportunity. However both are striving for equality, and I believe both positions are incorrect. Not only do I believe they are incorrect, but there is truly very little difference between these two positions that are pretending to be at odds with each other.

What are your thoughts? All views and backgrounds welcome! Come join us for a fun discussion. We'll lead with this topic but can venture off into any direction.

Rule of etiquette: The goal is to have a productive free-flowing discussion, while also giving everyone a fair chance to participate accordingly. If you have any trouble getting a word in, please use the "Raise Hand" feature. When a hand is raised I will set a 3:00 timer for turns. When no hands are up we continue with a free flow dialog with no timer. No one is obligated to speak if they do not want. Respect for others is a must (or at least please try haha). We're all human.

Hope you can join us!
