"Thoughts that are not balanced by guidance from feelings are psychopathic and feelings that are not balanced appropriately with conscious understanding of the present moment may be out of balance and appear dangerous or judgmental." – @ura-soul

^That was very wise!

We are probably going to have to agree to disagree on egalitarianism, mainly because I think it's impossible to achieve in the sense that you might mean. However, in another sense; I think that America had achieved it on paper with the 'immortal declaration'. Yet they made the BIG mistake of not applying 'men' to all men, and to women. Even if they said all 'people', with their mindset at the time, they still probably would have justified slavery with the trick of wordplay (legalese).

I made a post in jest where I poked fun at that issue, just to portray how ridiculous it can get. For example their are so many different genders, faiths, nationalities, religions, and ethnicities, that if we attempt to raise, or "equalize" any particular slice of the pie (, or group) in an attempt to achieve parity, that it many times results in a disparity for an an individual.

That's why as a libertarian, which is how I lean politically, I prefer to only look at individual rights. I don't know if that's the ultimate answer, but it seems like more of a pragmatic one to me anyhow. There are probably some laws that they created for groups in the past that didn't result in too much harm. Yet they still may have resulted in unnatural results.

In the above I was thinking specifically of if someone highly qualified for something is overlooked for an opportunity in favor of someone who may not be nearly as qualified so that a company can fill a quota to prove that they are not discriminating against this or that group.

If an individual witnessed something that happen to them first hand, it might be as dispiriting as getting censored on a platform that was supposed to be about free speech. LOL, I think I just came a full 360 with that one. Anywho not trying to talk your ear off, you made very interesting points!
