This experiment was devised by John Rawls in 1971 to explore notions of justice in his book A Theory of Justice.
Suppose that you and a group of people had to decide on the principles that would establish a new society. However, none of you know anything about who you will be in that society. Elements such as your race, income level, sex, gender, religion, and personal preferences are all unknown to you. After you decide on those principles, you will then be turned out into the society you established.
Question: How do you think the various victim groups would go about deciding on the principles that would establish the new society? How would a conservative, or a Jew or a low IQ porch monkey or a trust fund baby etc?
How do YOU think the universe started?
Justice may wear a blindfold but she can sure smell a stench and hear the gnashing of teeth, and has a long memory.
It’s more likely to be real world productive if you use realistic scenario’s as a basis of a question for discussion than highly unrealistic hypothetical ones.
How about you hypothetically not post for real.
Wip………………..The new society is already constructed based on the decided principles so the question asking how various victim groups would decide on specific principles for the new society…….
Subject is interesting though: You need principles already in place in order to determine if you are in a victim group. It is impossible for non-existent victims to decide principles for a new society as if they were victims.
Am I missing something?
No, I don’t think you are missing something. I was thinking every single group would drop their social justice stances and the new society would be based on Libertarian ideals. Since no one knows who or what they will be in the new society they would want true equality and freedom.
I think the new society would be agnostic and Libertarian at least to start.
“How do you think the various victim groups would go about deciding on the principles that would establish the new society?”
They have no principles, just feelings.
Example: “No Means No” and #metoo is correct, but the Muslim practice of gang rape is acceptable.
Three shitty kneegrow newz I heard or read just this morning.
1. On a kneegrow FM radio station as I was driving around doing errands. The nig host and nig callers were going apeshit crazy over Kanye West’s tweet about loving Trump. Universal condemnation, some of it vitriolic. Typical caller (paraphrased); — “Kanye be doggin us man. Trump be all about hate and dat crazy fool Kanye ain’t about no love. Trump be killin affordable Obamacare, hatin immigrants, and he be trying to destroy all black people. blah blah blah blah …”. You almost need an interpreter to understand this Ebonics shit.
2. On the cover of the New York Post today; “New NYC Schools Chief Scolds ‘Rich White Manhattan Parents'” You see, the new nig wants to “integrate” some of New York City’s best schools …. by kicking out students (white) with excellent test scores and replace 25% of them with students (nigs) with bad test scores. Cuz “diversity”.
3. Also heard on the radio today … some cunt in charge of some medical shit in NYC said that kneegrow chill’un under one year of age are three times more likely to die than white children. OK, that’s factual. But, guess why kneegrow chill’un die more often. She sez cuz of “systemic racism”!!
Blame Game. Free Shit. Zero Responsibility. In such a culture I wouldn’t even have to guess as to which race we’re talking about.
Kneegrows. It’s why we can’t have a nice country.
That be sum buwshe-it cuz.
50 years ago I think you might have gotten something pretty acceptable to all that might even work today. Today, just a giant cluster-fuck with “justice” not even part of the picture.
It’s not that hard: You set the demographics for your own kind. Higher intelligence, stable White-stock from Western countries. This eliminates the low standards, low IQ ‘tolerant’ lunatics that we have trying to destroy America now. You cannot send a duck to a eagle school. A.H.
