It’s so fucked up how ur born and ur life is immediately woven into thousands of years of history that came before you against ur will and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it

There’s a philosophical thought experiment all about that unfairness called “The Veil of Ignorance”.

It posits “What if you could see the world before you’re born, and choose whether or not you’re born into it?”. But while you can see the world you’d be born into, you can’t see who you’ll be born as. You don’t know your parents’ identity or the circumstances of your birth or what physical and psychological traits you’d be born with.

The idea is that a fair society is a society in which most people would choose to be born into even if they didn’t know who they’d be born as.
