* Reality TV show contestants are more like unpaid interns than Hollywood stars.*

Exploitation of interns occurs in many fields of business.

When there is competitive pressure on people starting out on careers, they are compelled to accept whatever form of hazing might get them started. A need for an unpaid internship can really cut down the candidate pool. Meanwhile, the candidate or per parents needs to have money in order to support the internship. It becomes one of the things that keeps the children of poor families out of good jobs.

But let's not forget that enabling the most capable young people get the best jobs is only part of what is needed for a good society. We need to enable everyone to have a decent life — which means, the less capable don't get so much less than the more skilled.

Likewise, social mobility is not as important as giving everyone a decent life. Social mobility is one of the ways the wealthy try to convince most of society to settle for a chance of getting rich rather than demanding a decent life.

Yascha Mounk: *Should we borrow from other cultures? Of course we should, just as we always have.*

The article explains how "cultural appropriation" has been applied to situations in which real wrong was done — but the real wrong was something else, and that concept was an invalid explanation of it.

*Instead of condemning appropriation, we should seek to build a society in which members of every group are valued equally – and all are free to draw inspiration from the cultures of their compatriots.*

To do that is a big challenge; but it will be a little less difficult if we stop thinking that inequality and prejudice can be part of the solution.
