Well a refute is that many intrisic inequalities exist on the basis of pure randomness.
I don't think much of our current inequalities are due to peoples different disposition to the will to compete/power. Can you really out-compete the inequality of randomly allocated ressources for example?
Even if you would remove any possible human trait variable you would still end up with constants out of humanity's control, how likely is it that full equality (which is a human construct) is natural?

But see it's not by any random occurrences those resources being allocated since there are those who are better at hacking the game than others and thus those resources will be allocated to them, can we least agree on that ?
We live in an era where you can out-earn many people just by having a computer and trading online, that to me is an example of hacking the game better and thus such people will be given more while others get less unless they start implementing the same stragety

I sincerely doubt equality would be the natural outcome if that were the case although it might but in this discussion we at least myself isn't trying to construct a perfect utopian paradise where resources are allocated equally among individuals since we've removed all the human variables that lead could to inequality
All am essentially pointing out is any form of competition in any enterprise you choose to examine, inequality will always arise from it once people figure out they can hack the game better than others
