I think if you compare two people of the same 'type' and alter a variable and compare their outcomes this can be an approximate gauge of 'fairness' in terms of who has the better end of a deal. I use type here only because people on this site think about that, are interested in it, and ascribe it some significance, but you can just look at individuals as a host of variables that vary under different circumstances. So let's say two people have the same general intelligence, skill, attractiveness, emotional capacity, etc and you vary other factors like gender, income, etc how does it change the individual outcome? I think for example that most women tend to have better outcomes (all else being equal) as men of the same level of attractiveness during the period of adolescence. I think men who are very wealthy tend to have much better outcomes than equally wealthy women (all other factors identical with only gender varying). What other "rules" could we create? Is there a sort of Calculus of human outcomes or potentiality that measurably varies as certain parameters change? To what degree are the parameters that cause the variance arbitrary?
