So (ver. Politics)

The satellite installation man (yes) tells me that he's against the democratic redistribution of wealth.

I ask him why. He says: everyone should earn as much relative to their intelligence.

I tell him that intelligence is heavily genetic (a variable potentially up to 80%, contra 20% environmentally affected), and ask him if he thinks it fair that a person should be relatively screwed (that is, in relation to others) because he's, you know, born, and, you know, being born brings with it a heavily genetically determined level of intelligence.

He reassembles his premises, and says the same damn thing.

I think: you're selfish.
He thinks: me, me.
