That’s incorrect, in fact, fairness and equality is one of the few universal social contracts that are valued in every culture on earth (though lived/implemented differently).

And I would argue that’s one of the key differences that separates humans from animals. Humans have an intrinsic desire for things to be fair.

Unfortunately, what we have and what we want are not the same thing even if near universally true. E.g. - nobody happens to be a huge fan of murder.
