In order to design society, we must imagine we are looking through a veil of knowledge!
At the annual colloquium of evil philosophers...
Roa
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.
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!
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!
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.
After all, if we achieve inequality through fair and justified actions, no true evil has been accomplished!
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.
