One time I had a client who thought it was "unfair" to pay me just because I knew how algorithms worked. He was quickly fired, but he did not find inheriting his family owned business unfair. He did not find his ranking boost which gave him outsized profits unfair.

There is no way to go back in time to make everything fair from some arbitrary starting point. All you can do is your best to do your best.

Pricing can lead to unequal outcomes, but it at least provides a signal that you are on the right track or not.

A quest for universal fairness can only work by lowering people rather than by promoting them doing what they are best at.

Anyone seeking universal fairness & equal outcomes in all aspects of life should read Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron as many times as required to change that mindset. http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html "THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

I'm confused what you're responding to. I never thought everything should be fair.
