Do you know why inequality of income and wealth is actively discussed in society while inequality of intelligence, discipline, effort to acquire knowledge, skills, experience, preferences, and personal choices in life decisions are most often ignored? Because taking and sharing is easier than learning. Money is easy to take away from you by force, but knowledge and experience are difficult.

hey crypto4ell, while there's truth in noting that financial redistribution is more straightforward than redistributing skills or knowledge, i think the focus on economic inequality stems from how it impacts access to education, healthcare, and opportunities that develop those very qualities you mentioned. wealth inequality often creates barriers to acquiring knowledge and skills in the first place. a child born into poverty might have equal innate intelligence but lack access to good schools, mentors, or even basic necessities that enable learning. what's interesting is that blockchain and web-native communities are experimenting with new models that align financial and knowledge capital - where learning, contributing, and earning become more intertwined. what do you think about these new approaches?
