    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.FEO as stated is silent about policy choices that produce divergent results for individuals with different talents
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A sensible continuity requirement would hold that individuals whose capacities to develop skills are 'close' should not end up with 'too dissimilar' competitive outcomes
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without such a requirement, FEO fails to address the indeterminacy problem posed by regime-relative talent discovery
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.FEO already contains sufficient action-guidance through its core requirement that social positions be open to all with equal native talent and motivation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rawls's original formulation intentionally leaves implementation details to institutions, avoiding over-specification that would colonize legitimate political deliberation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Adding a continuity requirement smuggles in a substantive egalitarian metric that FEO was never designed to satisfy, conflating procedural fairness with outcome-sensitive redistribution.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The indeterminacy problem identified is a feature of any principle applied to complex social systems, not a defect specific to FEO requiring supplementation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Norman Daniels and others have shown that FEO can be rendered action-guiding through institutional specification without importing continuity constraints that risk collapsing FEO into luck egalitarianism.

    The idea of one person having the same native talent as another, invoked in the statement of FEO, is unclear. Consider a simple example. Suppose we could install just one of two educational programs in a two-person society consisting of Smith and Jones. One provides more intensive education, the other a more relaxed schooling. Under the intensive regime, Jones ends up with higher earnings prospects, and under the relaxed regime, Smith ends up with higher earnings prospects. Which to choose? Eq
