I feel like it's not hard to be happy about people making large amounts of money building things like Facebook, while at the same time worrying about a system that allows Harvard attendees like Mark Zuckerberg to do that but provides virtually no opportunity for students at Orr Academy High School in Lawndale to get to Harvard, let alone to a place where they can start something like Facebook.

I don't have to hate Paul Graham to think that economic inequality by itself, intrinsically retards equality of opportunity.

I hope we can agree that inequality of opportunity is an intrinsically bad thing.
