Reading about at the equality/equity meme, I have two more ideas, but I am too lazy to draw them.
Make a version of “equality/equity” such that the fence is higher. In the first picture, only the tallest person can see the game. In the second picture, no one can. (Sometimes, life sucks.)
Make “equality / equity / economical growth”. In the third one, everyone can see because there are more boxes… but given the labels, that’s exactly the point. (Extreme version, the fourth window is “singularity”. Could be a nice one with infinite fractal boxes and some characters turned to androids, or the version with paperclips, like maybe more boxes with a picture of paperclip on them and no humans.)
Generally, the article was enjoyable. It’s fun to see how many variations of the meme people can make. Also funny how some will fail to understand the point… from “redistribution” to “new boxes magically appearing”; yeah, it would be great if we could solve the world’s problems by magically creating extra resources for those who need them, but how the fuck is that relevant to the original “equality/equity” dilemma? And the educational version where the tallest (smartest?) kids do not get great teachers is not exactly encouraging.
Okay, here is my contribution to the memetic pool of humanity:
