ok i think i am seeing what you are saying now, atleast more than before, further clarfication may be needed

but i disagree about this being a cultural issue, its genetic as far as i can tell

i would go so far as to suggest genes determine the culture we create, returning to the necessity of the dieing off of much of the gene pool for the world you invision to manifest, culture grows independently, but what direction it grows in and what shape it takes isnt the result of 'ignorance' as much as preference.... genetic?

the only point remaining.. even if i were born into a culture where every last individual was totally liberal to the tee

i would not find men equal

i would not find people equal

im confident of atleast this much.. in a world where everyone embraces everyone.. i am not a victim of my environment, i would not be welcome, because i am incapable of being that free of preferences, and i insist that is not a cultural brainwashing, but a genetic advantage, in precisely the area of adaptability, being 'open to much' makes you open to stupidity and a single cult leader would love a world filled with the innumerable neural connections present in children

childrens minds are like a garden with many small plants growing, its impossible to preserve them all, they NECESSARILY change into the more adult format of a few strong plants, thats evolution, survival of the fittest, whatever that may mean

culture is far too soft a force to change this, culture is onyl strong after it developes for a while but a 'people' are what develop it can independently take the shape of some progress or whatever, evolutionarily, this format of the many seeds a few of which succeed is precisely the format that adaptability has taken, adaptability is unfulfilled without the weeding out, a state of extremely rapid change would be necessarily to preserve such fluid amiability, over time a situation would situate itself.. without constant flux
