As Edmund Burke put it, "Those who attempt to level, never equalize."

They are not all equal. Not the people, the experience, the substance, or the sum of all.

Without study and care and the ability to be Frank about such things as purity, setting and set, those people are going to fail to realize any “reward”.

There are no equals.

All other things are never equal.

Yup. The only way to make everyone equal is to hammer everyone into the mud.

I didn't say equal, did I?

It is as, unlike people, not all ideas and experience deserve equality.

zeroonetwothree | karma 4300 | avg karma 2.02 · | 2015-07-22 17:23:35+00:00

It's inherently equal, but hardly fair.

macintux | karma 16051 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2019-09-30 02:58:21+00:00

The lack of an equal shot is no excuse to make things even more unequal, wouldn’t you agree?

ayrx | karma 1144 | avg karma 5.87 · | 2016-11-13 15:05:57+00:00

But all things are not equal.

Everyone is equal except we're not

Some people are more equal than others? Umm... no.

ajay-b | karma 309 | avg karma 2.55 · | 2021-10-08 22:53:59

Why must the equalize everyone to the lowest level?

skookumchuck | karma 1824 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2018-10-04 01:42:51+00:00

> equally

Implies everyone is in the same situation. This is never true. For example, in WW2 we had gas rationing. You got a fixed amount of gas, regardless of how much driving you needed to do. The result was a black market in gas, where those who didn't need all their alotment sold it to those who did (at black market prices, of course, since this was illegal).
