Darts for everyone!
-
everyone? giving darts to blind people is dangerous.
-
Right now we have a ton of blind people with darts.
-
can´t argue with that.

Not necessarily true. But in some cases yes, except the dart must be built by hand. rich kids have a chance of knowing what a dart looks like, where the dartboard is, what it looks like and what part of the dart board they're supposed to hit.
-
Also, they literally have money.
-
How dare wealthy parents try to provide a bright future for their children, truly outrageous

I like the word "meritocracy", even if I don't understand its meaning ...
-
It's the rule of the qualified
-
who are also the people who get to decide what the qualifications are, and then ruthlessly gatekeep that definition to keep themselves in power.
-
yeah like math and other arbitrary shit alongside it

Love this analogy. Me and the Co-Owner of Box Office Buz (our startup) both work 50+ hr full-time jobs while we try to make this happen. If it fails or never works out. That's that.

Yeah reality is that success is simply luck. More you try the higher chance you have.

Lmao. Speek for your own reality.

And there was that one time we implement their radical theory of redistributing the darts so everyone gets a shot, and we ended up killing all the people that had darts. Or were opposed to us taking the darts. Or wore glasses. Things got weird and confusing.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The analogy is mostly accurate. The non obvious conclusion is that it is still the most fair way of distributing darts, as they are the result of other people’s work. Or are you proposing something else?
-
Full Communism. But seriously, moving more rich kids' darts to the poor kids and giving them some time to go to the carnival ( cf https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/930124555443625992 … )

Experience may show that availability of those Darts will decrease as you disallow parents to accumulate them for their kids, as well as power from those deciding whi gets them may grow disproportionately
-
Apologies for breaking out of the nice darts metaphor but are you referring to inheritance tax specifically, or higher taxes in general reducing wealth accumulation?
-
I guess either, if used in sufficiently large measures (i.e. to give everyone free darts) would have similar effects: less total darts, more kids feeling entitled to someone else’s darts..
