fairness > equality: stop chasing unicorns

equality is a lie we tell ourselves to feel good.

everyone gets the same slice? sounds nice. works never. you know why? because life isn’t a pie chart.

chasing perfect equality is like trying to nail jello to a wall. it’s exhausting, pointless, and you end up with nothing to show for it.

fairness doesn’t care about your perfect ratios.

it’s about getting things done. while you’re debating whether everyone got exactly 33.33% of the pie, someone else already built a bakery.

equality seekers: measuring crumbs with a microscope
fairness builders: already on their third bakery

harmony is knowing when to say “close enough, let’s move.”

10 years from now:

  • equality obsessives: still arguing about percentages
  • fairness practitioners: built empires

which future do you want?

    C --> F[Exhaustion and Stagnation]

fairness says: “good enough” beats “perfect” every single time.

stop obsessing over perfect distributions. start shipping real value.

the time you waste chasing equality? someone else used it to change the world.
