I'm struggling a bit with this one. Why does Rawls completely ignore animals in his picture? Why do I know I'm a generic human rather than a chicken behind that veil of ignorance? It seems rather important since not knowing whether I might turn out a chicken could sway my attitudes immensely or am I missing something?
Or you could postulate nonexistence or an alien species. Rawls theory is insanity…it’s a lifeboat scenario designed to produce the solution of communism.
Thank you. 🤗
Thank you
Awesome to see Tom Sowell's Economic Facts and Fallacies in the background, such an illuminating book by such a great man.
Kitty seems to be a Rawls fan

These are good questions. Unfortunately, Rawls never really talked about animals. No theory is perfect.
I believe it's because animals don't have the capacity to follow the social contract
