> I wish by 2026 society would have shaken itself out of the idea that all people are the same.

If you called me woke, I would say, sure, if by woke you mean that I believe racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and other bigotries exist both within individuals and as attributes of the systems that people build and we ought to strive to fix that.

I also believe that intelligence is multidimensional such that representing it as a single number is nonsense, and it is not transitive either.

But I do not believe all people are the same. Who does?

That was very eloquent. I don't disagree with anything you said. Too deep for the practical, observable superficial differences in my mind.

Re: other comment above, I'm glad to hear from a broader circle that my stereotypical thinking was too.... stereotypical.
