Initially, one of the most puzzling features of animal domestication is the seeming arbitrariness with which some species have been domesticated while their close relatives have not.
Think of the arbitrariness of the " BRICS" gang of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), or of the even bigger and more amorphous " emerging markets" group.
But there's a second contingency, a second source of moral arbitrariness that goes beyond the question of whether it's to my credit that I have the talents that enable me to get ahead.
