[MD] The MOQ's First Principle

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Craig asked]
Does a society which rewards those who should be rewarded & punishes 
those who should be punished, exhibit equality or inequality?

[Arlo]
I don't think you can answer that, as I think it depends on how (and 
who) that society determines who should be punished and who should be 
rewarded. And in what forms that rewarding and punishing takes.

For example, suppose society A holds that race is a determinant in 
deciding who gets rewarded and punished. We'd hardly consider that 
"equal", and yet it meets the criteria in your statement. In other 
words, its in the working out of the word "should" in your statement 
that equality and inequality are brought to bear.
