Kate Brown Epilogue Question 6

Each of these questions was something that was discussed more in depth earlier in the chapter. However, the way that Wheelman answers the second question in the epilogue is what I found the most interesting. Even though the idea of the "pie-slicing" question had been addressed previously in a previous chapter the way that he phrased this answer emphasized the choice that we as humans have. It is up to us whether it is better for us to be a harsher and more unequal society as we are today or to transform into a more European way of life that appeals to those who value personal happiness over productivity. Both options have their benefits and their consequences but is our job to decide what will be the best for our society in the long run.
