I was thinking about this recently. You know the MLK quote about the universe bending toward justice? The eventual heat death of the universe is the only way everything will be equal.
Asimov has a short story I just read while backpacking in the mountains this past weekend. It’s about humanity attempting to reverse entropy. The Last Question is probably my favorite short story ever.
That fairness doesn’t exist, everyone has their own idea of it based on their background, experience and belief system.

It’s among my favorites as well. It’s a 28 minute listen on youtube, for anyone who doesn’t have access to the book.

The universal definition of “fair” is “everything is bent very slightly in my favor”.
