Reading about [Rawl's Difference Principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice#The_difference_principle) after seeing it referenced by a mythical gold-hoarding dragon. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrRhUtdL/
In essence, all the rules of society we could choose will benefit some more than others. It is both unavoidable and random as to who benefits. All accidents of birth. So the best rules to choose are those that benefit the least of us the most.

Hey... I just realised #JohnRawls's #TheoryOfJustice sorta defends #BDSM and D/s relationships.
Basically, the beginning of the relationship is like the stage of being behind the veil of ignorance and the inequality of the relationship is justifiable not merely on #consent but also on the fact/plan/hope that it will provide a better quality of life to those (or that) at the bottom (pun intended).
