Hiya Ellis,
I think what you wrote sounds altruistic; not as you described.
I shoulda composed this first, because i've had several different lines of thought as i sit here to write.
"...when it seemed to make so much sense...." -E.
...isn't there some Rod Stewart song...?It is always a little surprising when we are able to see more layers or depth in a subject.
Discrimination between something beneficial or deleterious is a good thing.
Equality that creates sameness and discourages diversity is a bad thing.
...of course there's equality of opportunity to strive for, but even that is very context dependent.
..oh yes, re: "...the abolition of these and other "artificial constructs...." I wonder if
Recognition (literally, re-thinking) of the constructs, and putting them in context, might be enough.
There were some thoughts I had involving Capitalism and freedom; and linking them with increasing opportunities and "contexts." Maybe later. Sorry, I'll try to get Back On Topic.
I was also thinking of conversations as being an evolutionary process; because language is interpreted through cumulative context and is mutated slightly through each
iteration of utterance. Now that was a fun phrase! ...that was supposed to be BOT, but...anyway.
Thanks,
~SA
