Perhaps not. However, the question remains - can/should equity be ignored when considering the objectivity/subjectivity of fairness?

He may not frame it as such, but he's essentially speaking to the fears of those he sees as the easiest to manipulate. Primarily because they are.

I would add to that: the need to be part of a 'special group'. When humans fund groups that make them feel 'special', they will reshape themselves rather than risk being expelled.

If the material was already within the gravity well of proto-Earth, then it may have been that there wasn't a huge difference.
