Why would they be entitled to to a share if they were not the first to land there and others have already claimed? The distribution has already happened. I may be misunderstanding this.

It comes down to the fact that the first to arrive didn't derive their claim by virtue of being first, but by virtue of their being human. Otherwise, two men crash on the island 1 second apart and the first man has claim and the second man gets nothing.
Now since it is only 1 share per person per day, someone who is there for 100 days will have 100x the claim as someone who just shows up. After 3 years the new guy would have 91% the number of shares as the first guy. After 100 years they would be effectively equal in the shares allotted to them.
On a big enough timeline, two people arriving 1 year apart is as indistinguishable as two people arriving 1 second apart.
Ahh ok well put
The numbers tells a nice story. Thank you for this post. I feel like its a rehash of one you just posted last week. I love it. I think it might help a lot of people better understand your point of view. This comment makes things more succinct too.
