Couldn't agree more. Growing up in a civil war certainly did not raise my chances of getting a job at a good company. Of which there are none, so it's fine.
All obviously true but for this audience you have to, sadly, address the Nazi mind view that is explicitly built to counter this.
The parents lived in the better location because they are better, purer Aryans. That's why the kid did better, because they have the good genes. They deserve their success. The poor deserve their poverty.
Zoom out to different countries and you can find top level members of the government making this argument on a daily basis. "They" are poor because they are inferior human beings and do not deserve to be treated as full human beings.
Yes, one stardust's inherited company gets bailed out by their dad's friend, the other loses their minimum wage job, slips on a sidewalk, and has their life ruined by medical debt. Ah, the wonders of the universe.
You can overcome that with talent and intelligence. But since talent and intelligence are not evenly distributed, you have places with little natural resources that are rich and places rich in natural resources that are poor.

It would be just as interesting to see how things have changed over the time - from the 1910s to now.
doesnt it also happen to star dust? they born at the same time, scattered, grow with time, then became different part of the universe.

Are you asking if the world is fair? No. No, it is not.
Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not
Talent and intelligence are absolutely not evenly distributed. If they were, opportunity would be evenly distributed too.
No it wouldn't, the globe isn't a uniform flat land where we're all equally distributed.

Mostly yes but not entirely. Undernutrition and disease can affect brain development, unfortunately.
> Talent is evenly distributed
How so?
