    So how do you suggest everyone starts life with equal socioeconomic status? Redistribution of wealth?

    This is wide of the mark. It amuses me to imagine you thinking that fish don't fuck, but what you're actually suggesting is that we're stupid enough to hunt fish to extinction. Clearly we are not.
