I never said all people are created equal, I said anybody is capable of genius.
I also agree with Verk in the sense that we wouldn't know if all people were created equal due to the hierarchical and status driven nature of our species.
My personal perspective is all (neurotypical/physically normal*) people are born individual, but with equal capability to excel in whatever field their skills lie given the right opportunities and encouragement... not many people receive the right opportunites and/or encouragent thus creating a hugely inequal society.
(*I hate to discriminate, all people are born individual but handicapped people are obviously less capable of excellence than typical people)
Imagine a world full of truly excellent people!
Might sound nuts, but I do believe its possble... however this is merely my opinion rather than assertation, I may be totally wrong... but I'm a dancin' fool.
