gollark: What is the "original Position"?
gollark: I see.
gollark: I'm aware of their veil of ignorance thing. I don't know what they derived from that.
gollark: If we could rely on people to be cool and good™ all the time, political/economic organization would become much easier. We can't, though, so this is not helpful.
gollark: I don't think that sort of claim has held up very well in the past.
