If one FEELS societies should be competitive and financially rewarded or punished people differentially, according to whosoever they are or what they have become, one will probably accept the status quo. On the other hand, if one FEELS (and can demonstrate) that people have no free will and simply cannot help becoming society's 'winners' or 'losers' then rewards and punishments are ill-conceived and should eventually be replaced by non-judgemental alternatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
