Good idea. I stumbled upon an idea the other day in a debate but I didn't know how to submit it or whether I should. It was basically taking the near/far bias and applying it to concepts of justice. In that justice among peers seems to follow the retributive justice concept of fairness while those more advanced looking down take a utilitarian stand. eg. children's view of bully vs parents.
