The Ovarian Lottery: A Thought Experiment
Too Long; Didn't Read
The Ovarian Lottery is a thought experiment popularized by Warren Buffet, one of the greatest investors of all time. The thought experiment stresses the importance of luck in life and focuses on when and where we are born in this world. If you play the lottery, you do not know whether you’re going to be born in India, Afghanistan, Somalia, the UK, the USA or somewhere else. The experiment was inspired by the concepts from a book called ‘A Theory of Justice’ by philosopher John Rawls.
