Veil of ignorance

imagine yourself in an original position behind a veil of ignorance. Behind this veil, you know nothing of yourself and your natural abilities, or your position in society. You know nothing of your sex, race, nationality, or individual tastes. Behind such a veil of ignorance all individuals are simply specified as rational, free, and morally equal beings. U only know ur going to born in today western society. In a sort of birth lottery .Would u take the gamble of being born a poor homeless person or would u insist the rule of the game be changed to change the lot of the poorest disadvantaged group in society?

Rather gamble for the possible chance that the disadvantaged in society to climb up the financial ladder.
Interesting 🧐 do u believe in classical utilitarianism where u choose to do the greatest good for the greatest amount of people possibly as a result not caring about minority happiness
