That will never happen. Life isn't fair and never will be, just by virtue of the natural world itself.

We can and should do our best to clear the way to ensure equal opportunity (not outcome) but it's important to realize what is actually reasonable and achievable vs impossible.

And that's why "we should just judge people on their merits" is a bullshit statement.

I am 100% behind this if it actually results in equal opportunities (spoiler: it never will.)
