Is poverty an inevitable byproduct of human society?

[EndlessCritic]

I believe so, we're not born equal. We have different skills, personalities, characteristics, strengths, weaknesses. And you may not get the opportunity someone else gets due to where they were born or who family they were born into. It's by chance for the most part. Also, your DNA and how you develop as a person.

So of course people with weaker capabilities will struggle in the world more than people who possess multitude of skills. And the potential reaching and maximizing your skills is DNA intrinsic imo.

Abject poverty is the natural state of the world. It is not a byproduct of anything, except existence.

Any type of abundance or technological advancement only arises out of social cooperation.

Social cooperation is necessary for human society (look at the question).

After a couple hundred years of liberalism, the only reason for poverty here at least is an unwillingness to make transfers large enough to fix it.

Everyone has a purpose in life and those Jordan's won't make themselves

Absolute poverty? Like having hunger stomach or are you talking about psychological, educational etc pverty aswell? Absolute is quite absolute.

Or is that a term?

So relative would mean a millionaire was poor in a world of billionaires.

Absolute would mean they weren't in poverty because they had enough money to pay for basic needs.

Will some people acquire more things than other people? Yes. That's inevitable.

But poverty itself. No, it's not a byproduct of human society. It's a byproduct of our current social model and many other models but not all of them.
