What Would You Choose If You Didn't Know Your Place?
Here's a question that might keep you up at night: If you could design society's rules from scratch, but had no idea whether you'd be born rich or poor, healthy or disabled, brilliant or ordinary-what kind of world would you create? This isn't just philosophical musing. It's the revolutionary thought experiment that John Rawls used to transform how we think about fairness. His 1971 masterwork didn't just shake up academic philosophy-it rewired our entire conversation about justice, influencing everyone from Supreme Court justices to policy makers debating healthcare reform. The genius lies in its simplicity: strip away all the advantages and prejudices that cloud our judgment, and suddenly we see what fairness really looks like. Picture yourself in a room with others, tasked with creating the rules for a new society. The catch? You know absolutely nothing about who you'll be once you enter it. You don't know your race, gender, wealth, abilities, or even your values. This is what Rawls calls the "original position," and the ignorance that blinds you is deliberate-it's the only way to eliminate bias. When you can't rig the game in your favor because you don't know which player you'll be, something remarkable happens: you start thinking differently. Would you create a society where the wealthy get all the advantages if you might be born poor? Would you deny healthcare to the disabled if you might become one of them? Suddenly, the utilitarian calculus-sacrificing a few for the greater good-feels far too risky. You wouldn't gamble with someone else's suffering when that someone might be you. This isn't about being altruistic; it's about being rational under uncertainty.
