A Preponderance of Injustice

In this presentation I shall argue that there is vastly more injustice than justice. To the extent that this is not disputed, its implications are not fully appreciated. What is disputed, at least by some, is whether there is now less injustice than there once was. Various people have either claimed or argued that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”. I shall evaluate that claim too, arguing that it is partially true under some interpretations and false under others.
