I don't know how did i end up reading on this subject.
I got to the point that this is a hypothetical experiment that would replace the state of nature in the social contract theory, however this veil refers to political representatives lack of information regarding whom they represent so the would serve their interests the best and would eventually lack the ability to mislead the public or abuse the fact that most are not as well-educated as they are, which contrasts the theory of social contrast in which the representatives are the elite and would have some kind of superior-inferior relationship with whom they represent.
Now my question is would that really work, i know its hypothetical but would that really serve those who chose those representatives?
How is that supposed to work for the good of the people?
Is this going to serve the concept of justice as fairness, all are equal, no prejudice, blah blah blah?
Im not even sure if im posting the right questions, as i haven't slept for a couple of days!
